Reconstruction of the US-131 interchange at Stadium Drive in Kalamazoo began today.
MDOT says the new interchange will be open to traffic in early September.
Traveling north during the summer in Michigan is hard enough, but it's about to get even more difficult.
There will be a total closure on northbound US-131 in Mecosta County from August 9 - 14.
Construction projects are all around West Michigan. It's just the beginning of a long summer of slowdowns.
If you're heading north this weekend, there's at least one construction zone to consider avoiding.
