Here is what to expect next week:
LAKE DR, EAST GRAND RAPIDS: A favorite shortcut is about to be shut down. LAKE DR will be closed Monday (8/3) between the East Grand Rapids city limit just east of WEALTHY ST and LOVETT AVE, which is east of PLYMOUTH AVE. Construction will continue into October. PLYMOUTH AVE will remain open through the LAKE DR intersection until construction progress requires closure.Detour: The City of East Grand Rapids has not issued an official recommended detour. If you just want to get into East Grand Rapids, use WEALTHY ST east to LAKESIDE DR. If you, like most people, want to cut through EGR to get to BRETON RD and head south, use FULLER AVE south to HALL ST, then east on HALL ST to BRETON RD.
I-96: Resurfacing of the highway between 68TH AVE and M-104 will begin Monday (8/3) through September 14. Don't let the sight of barrels on the shoulder cause you concern: all lane closures are scheduled for 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. If you sleep normal hours, the only inconvenience should be slower traffic if you stay late at the beach in Grand Haven.
I-196: The left lane will be closed on EASTBOUND I-196 over BYRON RD/Zeeland Exit from 9 a.m. Monday (8/3) until about 2 p.m. Wednesday (8/5). Expect backups at high-volume times.
