BATTLE CREEK, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – The Michigan Department of Transportation says they are expecting to reopen the Capital Avenue bridge and ramps at I-94 in Battle Creek on Saturday.
The work is part of a two-year, $160 million project to repave 10 miles of I-94 between Helmer Road and 17 1/2 Mile Road. In addition, MDOT is rebuilding nine bridges and repairing six others.
MDOT contractors Anlaan Corp., Hoffman Bros., Inc,. and C.A. Hull are completing the new Capital Avenue bridge over I-94 and rebuilding the westbound ramps. Originally closed on July 7, the bridge rebuilding project was extended by a week to include rebuilding the ramps, eliminating the need to limit Capital Avenue traffic and close the ramps for an additional six to eight weeks.
There is still some remaining work on Capital Avenue, but much of that work will be completed without an impact on traffic.
Crews will be doing restoration and traffic signal work, as well as installing decorative fencing.
For the rest of the 2023 construction season, crews will be completing westbound I-94 bridge rebuilding at 6 1/2 Mile Road, Beadle Lake Road, 9 Mile Road, and the Kalamazoo River, as well as bridge painting at I-194/M-66 and bridge approach work at 17 Mile Road.
