As part of the work in preparation of a three-year, $204 million investment to rebuild I-94 between Benton Harbor and Stevensville, MDOT has closed the Washington Ave. bridge over I-94 for deck patching, joint replacement, epoxy overlay, and surface coating. The bridge will remain closed through September 2^nd. Detours have been posted on Maiden Lane, Lincoln Avenue and Vineland Rd.

United Way is offering seniors, age 60 and older, who can’t perform yard work or afford to pay for services, the opportunity to have a team of volunteers come on November 9th. Seniors are helped on a first-come, first-served basis, dependent on the number of volunteers available. To sign up for assistance or to volunteer go to https://www.uwsm.org/rake-a-difference .

Traffic will be down to one lane and backups are expected today through Friday the 29th, on Niles Rd. from I-94 to the light at Washington Ave. for an MDOT milling and paving project.
