KENT COUNTY, MI – U.S. 131 is closed at 100th Street to replace a bridge that has been hit multiple times by over-height trucks.
The expressway is expected to be closed until 6 p.m. Thursday, April 2, for bridge demolition. Traffic will be routed onto the on and off ramps at 100th Street to continue on U.S. 131.
There will be no access to 100th Street, in southern Kent County, during that time.
The work is weather-dependent.
The 100th Street bridge over U.S. 131 will be closed until October, the Michigan Department of Transportation said.
The detour will be Clyde Park Avenue SW, 84th Street and South Division Avenue.
The $8.6 million rebuild comes after multiple trucks hit the bridge – at least eight trucks hit the bridge in 2018 alone. Beams were damaged during one of the crashes.
During bridge construction, traffic on U.S. 131 will be maintained with traffic shifts and lane closures. There will be periodic closures for beam setting as well as paving on U.S. 131.
Ramps will also be closed at times on an alternating basis. Highway traffic will be detoured at 142nd Avenue to the south and 84th Street to the north. The bridge, once complete, will have two lanes of traffic in each direction.
The bridge will have a height of 16 feet, 3 inches over the expressway. The bridge was 13 feet, 11 inches before pavement milling on the highway added 4 inches of clearance.
