KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI –– A quarter-century-long project opened to the public on Friday, Nov. 7, officially creating a U.S 131 interchange with the U.S. 131 Business Route. The $19 million project, which opened after decades of dialogue, added new ramps and bridges from northbound U.S. 131 to U.S. 131 BR, and from U.S. 131 BR to southbound U.S. 131. The expanded access will limit commercial traffic in neighborhoods and create economic opportunities on the Northside. To see what taking the new interchange, both northbound and southbound, looks like, watch the video below.
