Repaving of 145th Avenue underway

Repaving is underway today, Thursday, May 30, on 145th Avenue from 60th Street to 66th Street. Expect road closures and flag crews.

The work is being done by the Allegan County Road Commission. If you have questions or concerns about the road work, please call the road commission at (269) 673-2184.

The work is expected to continue Friday, May 31, according to a road commission Facebook update.

The Laketown Township Board earlier this month unanimously approved spending about $526,000 to have the Allegan County Road Commission resurface 3.01 miles of 145th Avenue from 66th Street to 60th Street, and 0.47 mile of 61st Street from 147th Avenue to 32nd Street. The City of Holland will pay about $51,000 for the work inside its borders.

The work is being done by Michigan Paving and Materials Co., the low bidder for the project.

In April, the board approved spending $51,700 for the replacement of a culvert on 145th Avenue before the repaving starts.
