Fuller-Michigan Intersection Closed

In early June, it was announced that Fuller Avenue was closed north of Michigan ST NE because of "an urgent sanitary sewer repair" that the city of Grand Rapids said was needed.

A month later, the entire Fuller and Michigan intersection will be shut down.

You read that right!

The problem is not only the sewer itself, it is also that the soil conditions are also a big part of the repair problems.

One of the northbound lanes is open, however, there is heavy equipment blocking the southbound lanes on Fuller.

When will Fuller-Michigan officially be closed?

According to the city of Grand Rapids, the Fuller-Michigan intersection will be closed starting Monday, July 8th.

The city says that this intersection will be closed for "3-4 weeks."
