MDOT closes I-94 ramp as part of US 131 work

The Michigan Department of Transportation has announced the long-term closure of a major intersection starting this weekend in Kalamazoo County.

MDOT’s Nick Schirripa said ongoing work involves the addition of an auxiliary lane on northbound U.S. 131 from I-94 to Stadium Drive.

The project moves into a new phase this weekend and, as a result, the northbound U.S. 131 ramp onto westbound I-94 will be closed. The posted detour is northbound U.S. 131 to eastbound I-94, then Oakland Drive north to westbound I-94.

Single-lane closures will continue on northbound U.S. 131, Schirripa said.

Completion of the $13.4 million project is expected in mid-September, with the westbound I-94 ramp closed until then.
