A quarter-mile of Hackley Avenue in Muskegon Heights has been closed to traffic starting Tuesday, May 28.

Construction has closed traffic to Hackley Avenue between Manz and Elwood streets. All eastbound and westbound traffic has been directed to a detour north to East Delano Avenue.

The construction started May 28 and is expected to end by October 31. Cost to the city will be $756,998. Included in the construction will be a “full-depth road reconstruction,” with sidewalk intersections being brought up to ADA compliance, re-striping of roads, and crosswalk markings added to intersections. In terms of distance, 0.24 miles of Hackley Avenue is being worked on.

Residents in the area have been asked to park on side streets when driveways may be inaccessible. Anyone traveling to businesses and residences in the area may use side streets and alleys. Throughout the months of construction, certain pedestrian traffic areas may be detoured as well.
