MDOT CONSTRUCTION
US-131 - Plaster Creek Bridge
MDOT is planning repairs and major maintenance to the Plaster Creek bridge on US-131 towards the end of March. MDOT will initially close north bound US-131 (starting March 29) between 28th St and Burton St for approximately one-month to complete the necessary bridge repairs. At the same time, MDOT will complete concrete repairs on north bound US-131 between Burton Street and Downtown Grand Rapids with double lane closures. All northbound work is anticipated to be complete by April 26. Southbound US-131 will remain open during this phase.
Once the work is completed on north bound US-131, traffic will re-open and similar work will begin on south bound US-131 and the Plaster Creek bridge. Towards the end of April or early May, US-131 will have double lane closures on southbound US-131 between downtown and Burton Street. There will be a full closure south of Burton Street for the Plaster Creek bridge work. This closure is also anticipated to last one month. Detailed question or information should be directed to MDOT Transportation Service Center (TSC). Northbound US-131 will remain open during the second phase.
