COUNTY: Ottawa
HIGHWAY: US-31
CLOSEST CITIES: Holland and Grand Haven
ESTIMATED STARTING DATE: Monday, July 6, 2009
ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009
PROJECT: The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be making safety and mobility improvements to the intersections of US-31 at Stanton Street and US-31 at Fillmore Street, respectively. The project will eliminate conflicting direct left turns and through- traffic on Stanton and Fillmore Streets.
TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS: The work will require single-lane and shoulder closures on US-31, with lane closures taking place during non-peak hours only. Stanton Street will be closed west of US-31, Monday, July 6, with a posted detour on Fillmore Street and 160th Avenue. Upon opening Stanton Street in mid-August, Fillmore Street will be closed and Stanton Street will be utilized for the detour.
CUSTOMER BENEFIT: The indirect left turns will greatly increase the safety of both intersections, as well as improve mobility by relieving congestion.
MDOT: Working to improve our state roads and bridges.
