Grand River Avenue construction between Michigan Avenue and Bogue Street is a week ahead of schedule, according to a press release from the Michigan Department of Transportation, or MDOT.
Traffic has been shifted to the newly paved eastbound side of the road. Crews now will pave the westbound side while one lane of traffic is maintained in each direction.
Left turns while heading east on Grand River Avenue are blocked off during this time. A detour can be found starting at Delta Street, slightly west of Michigan Avenue.
Construction continues on Michigan Avenue, between Harrison Road and the divide with Grand River Avenue. Eastbound traffic has been moved to the south part of Michigan Avenue while work starts on the north half and the medians are improved.
MDOT recommends drivers to take alternative routes and plan extra time during their commutes.
