In Kent County, there are 65 MDOT cameras, viewable on the MDOT website by selecting the “Kent County” filter. The other Van Buren County cameras are at I-94 near County Road 687 and I-94 at South Kalamazoo Street.

Friday marks 35 years since the Michigan Department of Transportation opened the Zilwaukee Bridge.

Located in Kentwood, about a mile and a half south of the Woodland Mall, the bridge was built in 1948 and is about 170 feet in length. Sometimes you can just replace the bridge deck – and that’s called super structure.”The only option, however, for the 32nd Street was a full replacement. “A bridge like this would be a full closure of 32nd Street over M-37,” Richard explained. The infamous 100th Street bridge was replaced years ago after drivers kept hitting it, Richard said. When the 32nd Street bridge replacement project begins, Richard said crews could typically finish the project in one construction season.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Over 100 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from a tractor-trailer’s ruptured fuel tank, according to an estimate from Oshtemo Township Fire Captain Josh Brady. The incident happened at 2:57 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, on West Main Street near North Second Street, when a recently purchased tractor-trailer was filled with diesel fuel and one of the straps holding a fuel tank fell while the truck was driving down the road. That caused the tank to hit the road, rupture and leak all of the fuel from the 105-gallon tank, Brady said. Oshtemo firefighters responded and a Hazardous Materials team was put on standby, but they did not respond as firefighters determined it was something they could handle, Brady said. The Michigan Department of Transportation also responded to advise during the response, Brady said, and they may have to deal with a cleanup on the road.

The closure is due to resurfacing work by MDOT, which says the work will provide a safer and smoother driving surface on I-96 and extend the roadway’s service life.
