US 131 project update

Here’s an update on work being done on U.S. 131 in St. Joseph and Kalamazoo counties, according to Michigan Department of Transportation’s Christopher Jacobs.

Recently completed work includes all hot-mix asphalt paving; placement of shoulder gravel; median guardrail installation; and long-line pavement markings.

Over the course of the next three weeks, work crews plan to: continue permanent sign placement in both directions; pour foundations for wood posts; remove existing signs; install drainage marker posts; add special pavement markings; and lay dormant seeding.

Anticipated end of season is Dec. 19, MDOT officials said.
