January 8, 2010 -- The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is set to reopen Riverside Drive under I-94 in Battle Creek on Saturday, Jan. 9.
Riverside Drive will be closed again in the spring for reconstruction, which likely will start in late March or early April. There also may be short-term closures this winter for work on the I-94 bridges over Riverside Drive.
Riverside Drive has been closed since April 2009 as part of a $10 million transportation investment to resurface 4.5 miles of eastbound and westbound I-94 between Helmer Road and 6 1/2 Mile Road, replace the I-94 bridges over Riverside Drive and reconstruct Riverside Drive under I-94 in Battle Creek.
The project originally was scheduled for completion this past November, but the project was delayed when the bridges shifted in May and after several weeks of bad weather, preventing the contractor from getting back on track for completion this year.
For up-to-date information on this project, go to the list of statewide lane closures at: www.michigan.gov/drive. Follow MDOT at www.twitter.com/MichiganDOT or visit the "Michigan Department of Transportation" page on Facebook and become a fan.
