This won’t be much fun for those on the northeast side: the intersection of Michigan and Fuller will be completely closed for two weeks in April due to construction. The roadway is considered to be in poor condition and will get a complete concrete overhaul. The exact closure dates for construction are weather dependent and will be finalized over the next weeks.

“The complete closure allows us to complete the project in two weeks, while the other alternatives would have required phases and taken 2 to 3 months with restricted turn movements,” said Communications Director Steve Guitar. “Compared to the other alternatives, we feel the complete closure offers the least impact for drivers and businesses. We know this intersection is busy and want to get in and out as quick as possible.”

The City will host meetings at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on March 26 at Wealthy Park Baptist Church (2233 Michigan St NE) to discuss the projects with citizens and business owners.

Suggest detours for Fuller are College Ave, Diamond Ave and the East Beltline; alternatives for Michigan St include Leonard and Fulton.
