Traffic Is Coming

Prepare for the Grandview Parkway Reconstruction!
March 2, 2024

Winter is fading, and that means Michigan’s other season is on its way: construction season. The Traverse City area is bracing for the upcoming Grandview Parkway reconstruction, a Michigan Department of Transportation Project, which kicks off Sunday, March 10. The project is split into two segments: Segment 1 will take place from March to July on East Front Street between Garfield Avenue and Grandview Parkway, and segment 2 will take place from July to November on Grandview Parkway from East Front Street to Division Street. Maps for each segment and detours are available at traversecitymi.gov/projects/mdot-grandview-parkway-project.html. Consider this your PSA to prepare for longer trips, new routes, and confused visitors. Before it begins, let’s all take a deep breath and vow to avoid road rage, shall we?
