Battle Creek bus riders: Expect detours on part of Michigan Avenue this week
A temporary road closure will affect a section of Michigan Avenue in downtown Battle Creek on Thursday, July 10, and Friday, July 11.
According to a community announcement, the closure is necessary for contractor work involving a crane that will place new rooftop units onto the W.K. Kellogg Foundation at 1 E. Michigan Ave.
The impacted area includes East Michigan Avenue from Capital Avenue SW to Division Street North. Residents are encouraged to detour around this area during work hours and remain alert for crews and equipment.
Battle Creek Transit's 3E — Main/Post bus will also detour during this closure. Inbound, the bus will turn left on Hamblin Avenue to reach the Transfer Center. This detour means the following bus stops will not be serviced: Michigan Avenue at Division Street, Michigan Avenue near the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Capital Avenue NE near Jackson Street.
BCT riders can use bus stops on Main Street at Pittee Street or Hamblin Avenue near Monroe Street. Neighbors needing assistance with trip planning can call BCT at 269-966-3474 for help from the Mobility Manager or dispatch team.
