KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — One of the big road construction projects slated for this construction season gets underway in Kalamazoo today as Park and Westnedge will be repaved, roughly from Michigan Avenue through the North side and nearly to the City Limits.
The state designation for the roadway is officially Business Route 131.
The project also calls for new curb and gutters, handicap accessible ramps on sidewalks at each intersection, and new pavement markings.
The work is expected to be completed August 10th, about four months from now and cost about $900,000. There will be some night time and weekend work, but at least one lane should be open at all times.
