Project information:
In 2026, MDOT plans to rebuild and widen M-37 from south of 92nd Street to north of 76th Street. A federally required EA is underway to identify project impacts.
Recreational trailway information and public input:
To complete the M-37 project, MDOT is proposing to realign the existing trail located along the east side of M-37 and Cherry Valley Avenue between 92nd Street and 84th Street, shifting its location to the east to accommodate the proposed widened roadway section. During the project, that trail section will be closed with no alternate route.
Public input is being sought to help recognize and address any concerns that may result from any recreational impacts to the adjacent Caledonia Township trail relocation and the temporary closure of the trail to pedestrian traffic during construction per a proposed de minimis impact finding under Section 4(f) of U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966.
