The two-week reconstruction of one of Grand Rapids' busiest intersections will be finished a week earlier than planned.

The intersection was closed on Saturday, April 11 at 4:00pm.

The construction was expected to take nearly two weeks to finish, but crews have been working 10-12 hour shifts and there has been good weather which has helped the construction go more quickly than expected.

Police have been in the area quite a bit over the past week, ticketing drivers who sought to avoid the construction by cutting through parking lots.
