GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The closure of US-131 southbound at Burton Street, scheduled for Sunday morning at 7:00, was delayed by rain.
First, the freeway was rescheduled to close Monday at 9 a.m., but but with Monday's rain comes another delay.
Now US-131 southbound is scheduled to be closed from Burton Street to 28th Street beginning Tuesday, April 30, at 9 a.m.
The lane closures from Ann Street to Burton Streeet, scheduled in tandem with the closure, are rescheduled to 9 a.m. Tuesday as well.
The project is the second half of work to repair 131 bridges over Plaster Creek, which cannot be worked on when traffic is causing vibrations.
When the closure takes place, it will run from Burton Street south to 28th Street through approximately May 28.
(This article has been updated to correct the closure time for Tuesday, April 30.)
