Some construction will be done on I-94 in Van Buren County starting this Friday. Michigan Department of Transportation spokesperson Nick Schirripa tells WSJM News MDOT is bundling the I-94 work in the area with a project taking place on US-131.

“We’re doing minor resurfacing work along I-94 in Van Buren County,” Schirripa said. “It’s the Paw Paw, Mattawan area. So I-94 from M-40 in Paw Paw to County Road 657 in Mattawan. And it’s just a few days that we’ll be there.”

Those single lane closures will be at night starting Friday and going through Monday. Schirripa says MDOT is also working on US-131 from M-43 in Kalamazoo County to 102nd Avenue in Plainwell doing a resurfacing project. That $2.2 million project will mean lane closures through July 9. He also notes eastbound I-94 in the Kalamazoo area is rerouted to the westbound lanes with two lanes of travel for a two-year reconfiguration of the Portage Road interchange. That work will continue through November of next year. You can stay on top of all MDOT construction at Michigan.gov/Drive.
