I-196 Business Loop project in Zeeland toward July start
MDOT has not set a firm start date for the I-196 Business Loop reconstruction in Zeeland, with a tentative July 9 target. The project realigns the Chicago Drive intersection, funds drainage upgrades, adds signals, extends 84th Avenue south, and detours the westbound ramp for about three weeks while keeping at least one lane open in all directions. Travelers are advised to allow extra time. The north side of 84th Avenue will be opened to restore full access during construction.
