Cottonwood Drive Update:

Despite an ongoing labor dispute that is affecting the Cottonwood Drive project and several other Ottawa County Road Commission projects, there is still some work taking place along the Cottonwood Drive project in Georgetown Township.

Here’s the latest:

  • The watermain is being placed on the easterly side of the road. The northwesterly 1,700 feet has yet to be done. There are also waterline crossings to the westerly side at the west side streets.
  • The contractor also has to place water services to the homes and business on the westerly side of Cottonwood.
  • Concrete work on driveway approaches and sidewalk is taking place all along the westerly side of Cottonwood.
  • The 84-inch county drain pipe being worked on at Village Lane is anticipated to be completed by the beginning of next week, weather permitting.

As a reminder, the detour route for the project is Baldwin Street to 20th Avenue to Bauer Road to 24th Avenue to Fillmore Street.

Residents and businesses needing access to Cottonwood north of Village Lane are asked to access via Bauer Road. Those who need access south of Village Lane are asked to access via Baldwin St.


MDOT planning lane closures on U.S. 31 through Grand Haven/Spring Lake

A heads up for drivers who commute through the Grand Haven and Spring Lake areas next week.

The Michigan Department of Transportation has planned lane closures for road and bridge work beginning 7 p.m. this Sunday through 6 a.m. next Friday on northbound and southbound U.S. 31 between Jackson and Van Wagoner streets. 

The work is weather dependent.

As this is an MDOT project and not OCRC work, please visit www.michigan.gov/drive for up-to-date information on this and other state projects.
