Well, do you want the good news or the bad news first? The good news is progress is being made to the completion of the multi-year project redoing the Portage Road intersection with I-94 and the widening of I-94 all the way past Sprinkle Road.
Yes, they're making progress, but that doesn't mean there won't be pain in the final stretch of construction on the Portage Road - Kilgore Road - I-94 Interchange project.
Like every construction project in Michigan, it always seems to take too long. The Interstate 94 at Portage/Kilgore Road interchange is no different. But beginning this weekend we might begin to start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
What are they teaching in Transportation Planning Schools? First, these blasted turn-abouts, and now they narrow Portage Rd. near downtown to one lane; to make room for bicycle lanes. Really?
