Pieces of GR history discovered under ripped up road

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (via WOOD TV 8) — Construction crews have uncovered history under another West Michigan roadway.

The most recent discovery happened on Fountain Street between Prospect and College avenues in Grand Rapids’ Heritage Hill neighborhood.

While breaking up about a foot of asphalt, crews unearthed the old roadway, complete with wooden “bricks.” The Heritage Hill Association says the bricks are in good condition because they were soaked in creosote.
