The resurfacing of the eastern half of the Kal-Haven Trail will begin this month, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports.
The portion to be resurfaced reaches from the 10th Street trailhead in
Kalamazoo County to the west village limits of Bloomingdale in Van
Buren County.
Excerpt:
Most of the funds for the $1.2 million project were obtained by the road commission through the federal stimulus package.
Battle Creek-based contractor Hoffman Brothers will resurface the limestone and asphalt as well as mark the pavement.
The work is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 31.
The surface of the 34-mile-long trail is about 20 years old.
Hoffman plans to resurface the trail in one-mile sections and will set
up detours to keep the trail open during the construction project.
Riders are encouraged to check in with trail staff at the various trail heads for up-to-date project information.
For information on the number of riders who use the trail, read the
