BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Michigan Department of Transportation has announced 11 Transportation Economic Development Fund Category F grants totaling $3.9 million to help rebuild local roads across Michigan.
Among the projects are the rebuilding of Kalamazoo Street in South Haven and resurfacing Union Street in Battle Creek.
Kalamazoo Street will be rebuilt in South Haven from the city limit north approximately 1,138 feet. It is the entrance to an industrial zone, which is home to several metal and plastic manufacturers, auto repair and supply shops, and a steel fabricator. The road is not currently built to all-season standards but this project will add it to the all-season system network.
MDOT is giving South Haven up to $375,000 for the work, and the city will put in nearly $236,000.
Battle Creek will resurface Union Street from M-66, Capital Avenue, to the I-94 Business Loop, Michigan Avenue.
Union Street is an all-season route connecting the roads and it is used by commercial vehicles to bypass the narrow streets in downtown Battle Creek. Commodities typically hauled on this route include consumer and industrial materials.
MDOT is awarding Battle Creek up to $231,130 and the city will put in almost $58,000.
