About the Project
In partnership with the City of Walker, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing approximately $30 million to rebuild and widen Fruit Ridge Avenue from 3 Mile Road to Northridge Drive. The project will replace the original 1961 Fruit Ridge Avenue bridge over I-96 and rebuild the interchange. This also includes a new nonmotorized path along Fruit Ridge Avenue and 3 Mile Road, with trail connections on the north and south sides. The Michigan Legislature approved a $25 million grant (Public Act 1 of 2023) to help fund this critical infrastructure improvement project in West Michigan.
How to Navigate Construction
MDOT Mi Drive is a website and mobile app hosted by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) that provides real-time information about road conditions, traffic incidents, construction zones, and more. It allows users to plan their routes and stay informed while traveling in Michigan.
