KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM/FM) — The Michigan Department of Transportation says Wednesday night will mark the beginning of the second phase of the reconstruction of M-43 in Kalamazoo.
After spending the past few weeks rebuilding sidewalk ramps, crews will now focus on installing new pavement between U.S. 131 and Kendall Avenue. Work will range from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“That’s a largely commercial corridor,” MDOT spokesperson Nick Schirripa said. “We’ll try to keep our operations out of the way as much as we can during the day.”
The repave should be done by August. Crews will rebuild sidewalk ramps and lay new asphalt from Kendall Avenue to Pitcher Street. Railroad crossing reconstruction is also slated.
The entire project is slated to be completed by fall, Schirripa said.
