M-21 construction between Lowell and Ada moving along

Ada Twp. (WZZM) Construction crews have started digging up the old concrete on M-21 over the Grand River in Ada Township.

Initially MDOT planned on closing the bridge completely during construction but after many community meetings, MDOT determined crews could get the job done by closing one lane at a time in both directions.

For people traveling from Lowell toward Ada the work has created some back-ups in the morning headed West.  During the drive home in the evening traffic has been backed up from the construction project to the main gates at Amway.

Funding for the project came from $47-million dollars the state received in federal stimulus dollars.
