BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Another section of West Michigan freeway gets a rebuild, and this time it will take two years.
Beginning Monday, May 13, work begins on US-131 between 76th Street and 100th Street. The Michigan Department of Transportation rescheduled the start date to May 13.
When the project is complete in late 2025, the northbound and southbound pavement will be replaced, and a new right lane will be added northbound and southbound between 76th Street and 84th Street. The cost is estimated to be $70 million, paid for by bonds from the Rebuilding Michigan Program established by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The first step in the new project runs from May 13 through June 7 and looks like this:
- Double lane closure on US-131 southbound from 68th Street to the Allegan County line.
