US-131 under ravine road, alamo township, kalamazoo county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $165,420 to the Michigan Department of Transportation on August 14, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to execute a comprehensive bridge rehabilitation and preservation project on US-131 Under Ravine Road in Alamo Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan. The project encompasses deep concrete overlay installation, full-depth patching, railing patching, partial paint application, substructure patching, concrete surface cleaning (CSC), silane treatment for corrosion protection, slope protection repairs, and replacement of bridge approaches spanning approximately 1.5 miles north of the US-131 bridge location.

This formula grant supports critical infrastructure preservation activities typical of the Highway Planning and Construction program, which provides federal financial assistance to states for construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and related transportation infrastructure. The work focuses on extending the service life and safety of existing bridge infrastructure through preventative maintenance and targeted rehabilitation measures rather than full reconstruction, reflecting the program's emphasis on asset preservation and cost-effective infrastructure management.
