  • Project value$860,623 ($792,232 MDOT Jurisdictional Transfer, $68,391 Local Funding)
  • Project scheduleWeek of June 9 - mid-August
  • Contractor nameMichigan Paving & Materials

The City of Kalamazoo will repave Westnedge Avenue from Vine Street to Michigan Avenue in 2025. This project will improve the roadway surface while maintaining the current lane configuration. Work is expected to begin in June and finish in mid-August.

This project is significantly smaller in scope than the 2024 Westnedge project, which involved a full water main replacement. That work required extensive excavation, new installations, testing, and connections to side streets and buildings.

In contrast, this year’s project will focus primarily on milling and repaving. Traffic will be maintained throughout construction. Additional improvements will include:

  • Sidewalk repairs and ADA ramp upgrades at all intersections
  • Improved signage and crosswalks
  • Upgraded traffic signal controllers and new signal cameras
  • Repainting the bike lane as a buffered bike lane for added separation
  • Some improvements to storm water infrastructure

Most of the funding for this $860,623 project comes from the MDOT Jurisdictional Transfer, which provides $792,232. The remaining $68,391 is covered by local funding.
