For some, the July 4th holiday marks the mid-point
of the summer. It's pretty much the same for the road construction
season, which began April 1 and will end around November 15.
M-37: Beginning today (7/7), M-37 is CLOSED north of the junction with M-46 to BAILEY RD.The intersection of M-37 and M-46 (which continues west to Muskegon) will be converted into a roundabout, which should make it the largest and busiest roundabout in West Michigan when it's done in November.
I am told there are people who avoid roundabouts like the one recently opened in Coopersville, but it's only because Michigan drivers are not familiar with them. They actually are a safe way of dealing with an intersection, and the junction of M-37 and M-46 is a spot where accidents happened, and they tended to be bad.
During construction until mid-November, there will be a detour that will cost you a little extra time: Canada Road and Bailey Road.
I-96 RAMP CLOSURE: The exit ramp from EASTBOUND I-96 to ALPINE AVE from 9 a.m. Monday (7/6) to 3 p.m. on July 27. Detour: Exit early, at WALKER AVE, take 3 MILE east to ALPINE AVE.
