M-19 Railroad Crossing Reconstruction
 

Monday, July 12, 2004 – Friday, July 30, 2004

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Canadian National Railway (CN) will be reconstructing the railroad crossing of Main Street (M-19) during the last three weeks of July. These repairs are necessary due to the increasingly poor condition of the crossing, which is causing traffic problems. These repairs will include a total reconstruct of the crossing that will take 19 days to complete. The crossing will be shut down to vehicular traffic from July 12th through July 30th. CN will complete the railroad portion of the crossing and MDOT will repave the approaches on M-19.

The tentative time-line is 19 days
July 12th – July 21st Railroad crossing work
July 21st – July 30th MDOT work

Businesses along Main Street between Division Road and Gratiot Avenue will remain accessible by local traffic. Once in the Granary District residents and customers can utilize Howard Street to Division Road and Gleason Avenue to Forest Avenue to get around the crossing. Howard Street, Gleason Avenue, Beech Street, and Oak Street will remain open to traffic. Please support our local merchants.
