On Friday Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. shared on social media that starting on Monday March 3rd Division Avenue from Fulton Street to Michigan Avenue will be shut down until at least November.

Some of the construction projects that will be tackled over the next 8 months include:

• New water main & upgraded utilities
• Separated storm & sanitary sewers
• Narrower roadways & wider sidewalks
• Raised bike lanes & new street trees
• Enhanced street lighting & a raised median
