Fruit Ridge Avenue Bridge Replacement over I-96 - Kent County
About this project
In partnership with the City of Walker, MDOT is investing approximately $30 million to rebuild and widen Fruit Ridge Avenue from 3 Mile Road to Northridge Drive. The project will replace the original 1961 Fruit Ridge Avenue bridge over I-96 and rebuild the interchange. This also includes a new nonmotorized path along Fruit Ridge Avenue and 3 Mile Road with trail connections on the north and south sides.
Project map and information
- The bridge will be closed and traffic detoured to 3 Mile and 4 Mile roads via the Walker Avenue/I-96 interchange.
- The Michigan Legislature approved a $25 million grant (Senate Bill 7) to help fund this critical infrastructure improvement project in west Michigan.
