U.S. 131 construction delayed further due to labor lockout earlier this year

The project was originally expected to wrap up by October, however, a labor lockout earlier this year caused significant delays.

KENT COUNTY, Mich. - The construction project on U.S. 131 between 10 Mile and 14 Mile will not be completed until early December.

The project was originally expected to wrap up by October, however, a labor lockout back in September caused significant delays.

In an email, Michigan Department of Transportation spokesperson John Richard wrote that the project 'would have been completed by now had it not been for the labor dispute/lockout.' He said current progress is slow going due to the weather.
