96th Avenue closed in Zeeland Twp.

Red=Closure, Blue=Detour

The 96th Avenue bridge in Zeeland Township is closed to all traffic until further notice due to a damaged railing.

As a result of the bridge closure, 96th Avenue has been closed to all traffic from Adams Street to Ottogan Street.

The detour route is Adams Street to 84th Avenue to Ottogan Street.

Emergency vehicles may access the site from the north and south up to the bridge.

Road Commission engineers are currently evaluating the structure, and we hope to provide more information on the closure next week. 

Make sure to visit our website, Facebook and Twitter pages for updates on the closure.

Cottonwood Drive reconstruction update

Work continues to take place on Cottonwood Drive.

We anticipate that paving contractors will be on site on Monday, Dec. 10, to begin basing and leveling the remaining portion of Cottonwood Drive, as well as beginning work to pave intersections along the eastern side of Cottonwood.

Work is also taking place on concrete driveway approaches along the eastern half of Cottonwood Drive.

Even with the new pavement on portions of both sides of Cottonwood, we remind people that the road remains closed to through traffic.

Additionally, Cottonwood Drive remains closed at Village Lane to to aid in the completion of the project.

Those who live north of Village Lane and south of Bauer Road are asked to access Cottonwood Drive via Bauer, while those who live south of Village Lane and north of Baldwin are asked to access Cottonwood via Baldwin.

Follow all posted detours and observe all posted speed limits for the duration of this project.
