Ribbon Cutting Marks End of Construction on Fruit Ridge Avenue
A joyous celebration was held in Walker on Friday to mark the end of construction on the Fruit Ridge Avenue bridge over I-96.
The city, along with the Michigan Department of Transportation and state lawmakers, celebrated the completion of the major project to replace the aging bridge.
The new bridge features five lanes, with two for each direction of travel plus a center turn lane, and a separate path for pedestrians and bicyclists to safely enjoy, providing a connection to the larger Musketawa Trail.
The improvement is significant, as the old bridge, originally built in 1961, had only two lanes.
The celebration included a marching band from Kenowa Hills High School, who performed up-beat tunes to rally the crowd during the invite-only ribbon cutting.
The bridge is set to open on Monday, following one more round of detours this weekend.
