A long-awaited road construction project in southwest Michigan is finally slated to get started. State Representative Al Pscholka says the Michigan Department of Transportation’s next five-year plan includes the completion of US-31, connecting the highway to I-94. He says the work is several decades in the making.
“This is something Southwest Michigan has been waiting for for a long time,” Pscholka told WSJM News. “It’s been in the making for five decades, and there isn’t a meeting that goes by that someone asks me about 31, and now we can say ‘Yes, it will be completed’”
Pscholka says the total cost of that project will be $92 million. It’s slated to be finished in 2022.
