A Michigan Department of Transportation project has begun that will reduce 44th Street to one-lane traffic each way between Breton Avenue and Shaffer Avenue until late July.

The $1,553,000 project, according to the City of Kentwood Public Works Department webpage, is scheduled to last from mid-April to late July.

The scope of work includes replacing the top four inches of asphalt on 44th Street from Breton to Shaffer, and replacing the intersection of Shaffer with full depth concrete, according to information provided to WKTV. Traffic will be maintained with a single lane in each direction throughout the project.

A construction notice was mailed to all residents that live adjacent to that section of 44th Street.
