The big project in West Michigan for the 2010 construction will be the replacement of pavement and bridges on I-196 between US-131 and Fuller Avenue in Grand Rapids.
The freeway will be completely closed for the Summer 2010 to accommodate the scope of the construction. MDOT could have kept the highway open, but that would mean the project would take twice as long and would cost more.
You'll see in the video that so-called "merge-weave" lanes will be added in each direction which will cut the number of slowdowns caused by traffic merging from Ottawa Avenue, College Avenue, and Fuller Avenue.
