Long-term construction closure in Ionia

Post by InvisiBilldotnet
The two PDFs at http://ioniacountyroads.org/projects.html have a map and details.

This bridge is being replaced, with the closure listed as being from 5/3 to 11/1. However, the barricades/detour block off over 5 miles of the road, due to being out in the country with many dirt roads.

I'm not sure how best to handle this. I assume marking just the bridge closed will end up routing people similar to the detour (3-4 miles south on Grand River) if they've got it set to avoid dirt roads. However, it may be confusing to have Waze's closure not match the actual barricade locations. On the other hand, blocking off that entire 5 miles creates a lot of opportunity for local traffic to drive on the "closed" road.

I also found the details of some construction closures within the city of Ionia. Here are the affected streets, and this page has details.

Bliss St: 6/13-7/28
Cyrus St: 5/2-7/21
Pleasant St: 6/13-8/24
W Lytle St: 7/21-8/24

FYI, the document refers to the one-way section of Pleasant as "Alley", but the sign clearly shows "Street" at both ends.

Hi, there, InvisiBill! LTNS!

This is currently outside of my editable area (EA) but I'll leave a heads-up about this post in our Michigan Editors Google Hangout (GHO).

BTW, I'd be happy to invite you to that GHO if you're interested!

I've dropped a closure on the longer of the two PLs. We don't want a route that would take anyone past a "Road Closed to Thru Traffic" barrier, so if they have it barricaded at those two primary streets, then that's where we'll close it off to.

If anything changes or if this needs to be updated, please let us know.

Thanks for the heads up!
