KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Road Commission of Kalamazoo County is set to perform major construction on South Sprinkle Road between Milham Road and N Avenue.
The nearly $2.5 million project covering 1.2 miles of roadway will primarily consist of surface milling, hot mix asphalt overlay, and culvert work. A single lane in both directions is expected to stay open throughout the duration of the project.
Of the nearly $2.5 million cost, approximately $980,000 was secured through federal funding sources.
The City of Portage contributed just under $300,000 to the project cost for watermain work being performed, and the remaining balance is funded through Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF) revenue in the RCKC’s budget. The MTF is primarily funded through fuel taxes and vehicle registrations and then distributed according to Public Act 51 of 1951 to the road agencies of Michigan.
Work is slated to begin on May 1 and to be completed by October 30, 2021.
