WYOMING, Mich. -- The City of Wyoming has postponed installation of a new pedestrian bridge over 28th Street between Burlingame and Michael avenues.
It says work will now begin March 3rd, resulting in intermittent lane closures through April. There will be a full closure 28th Street between Michael and Burlingame avenues on March 3rd and 4th.
The north end of the bridge will connect to a non-motorized trail network, and the south end will connect to the City Center. The foot bridge is scheduled to open sometime this summer.
Access to all businesses will be maintained during construction.
The city says on social media and on its website that access to all businesses will be maintained during construction:
"The pedestrian bridge will connect the City Center to various key destinations in the City and increase walkability and mobility in the downtown area. The 12-foot wide ADA accessible bridge will accommodate two-way pedestrian and bicycle traffic across 28th Street. Connections to the north include the non-motorized trail network, Pinery Park, Porter Street businesses, Grace Christian University, and the City of Grand Rapids. To the south, the pedestrian bridge will give access to City Center public space, new mixed-use developments, Wyoming High School, and trail connections to Byron Township."
