KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A project to calm traffic and preserve the pavement on Westnedge Avenue and Park Street from Dunkley Street to Michigan Avenue is now underway.
As a part of the project, a fog seal will be applied to the street and pavement markings will be repainted to right-size vehicle lanes at 11-feet. Bike lanes and designated parking areas will also be added.
The streets will remain open throughout the project with single lane closures at a time as needed.
The project is planned to be completed according to the following schedule which could be impacted by weather.
