Road Closure Updates
PLEASE USE DRAKE ROAD TO GET TO KALAMAZOO CAT HOSPITAL!
While reconstruction work resumes on US 131 itself next week, work will also begin to rebuild the northbound and southbound US-131 bridges over KL Avenue and the Amtrak rail in Kalamazoo. The three-year, $24 million project is expected to be completed in June 2026, with work pausing for each winter. In addition to rebuilding the two bridges, work will include sanitary sewer, culverts, hot-mix asphalt rebuilding, a nonmotorized path along KL Avenue, approach work, and pavement markings on US-131.
Work in 2024 will require only shoulder closures on US-131 while a temporary bridge is built for use in 2025 during bridge rebuilding. Work in early 2026 includes bridge coating and final paving on KL Avenue. KL Avenue will be closed throughout construction, with traffic detoured on Drake Road, West Michigan Avenue, and 11th Street.
Please call us if you have any questions at 269.375.5402. Thank you for your understanding!
