SCHOOLCRAFT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Michigan Department of Transportation is inviting the public to attend one of two special open houses next week.
MDOT officials are set to discuss a planned rebuilding and repaving project on US-131 from Shaver Road to the Rocky River in Kalamazoo and Saint Joseph counties.
US-131 is online to be rebuilt in Schoolcraft, with work outside the village to include resurfacing, intersection and drainage improvements, signal work, and guardrail replacement.
The project is set for 2023-2024 and will include repaving most of US-131 from Shaver Road in Schoolcraft, Kalamazoo County, to the Rocky River in Three Rivers, St. Joseph County.
US-131 will be rebuilt within the village of Schoolcraft. The traffic signal at Lyons Street will be upgraded with a left-turn phase, and a pedestrian crossing will be added to the Eliza Street signal. The intersections at Wilbur Road, M-216, XY Avenue, and Shaver Road will be replaced by indirect left turns, also known as Michigan Lefts.
There are two open houses planned. The first one on Wednesday, October 19 from 4 until 6 p.m. in Schoolcraft at the Municipal Complex at 442 North Grand Street, and the second one on Thursday, October 20 from 4 until 6 p.m. in Three Rivers at the Area Chamber of Commerce at 1116 North Main Street.
