Road work in Richland Township -The Richland Township Board Road Committee annually reviews the road conditions in the Township. With input from the RCKC, the Board acquires estimates for possible Township funded capital projects for the following year. When the budget is assembled, the Board selects the projects. Road maintenance, hole repair, and mowing is paid by the RCKC from the state funds that they receive so the Township only budgets for the capital projects.

MDOT wll be working on the remaining section of I-94 in Kalamazoo., from Loy Norrix to Sprinkle Rd, that has not been widened. Work will be seen starting summer of 2020.
MDOT is working on the engineering for a roundabout at M-343(Gull Road) and G Avenue. The planned 2021 reconstruction includes building a roundabout at the M-343/G Avenue intersection to improve safety and reduce congestion. Improvements also will be made at the M-343 intersections with 27th Street and 28th Street. MDOT is proposing to acquire property from Eastern Hills Golf Course for needed right of way, and the project also will have minor impacts on the existing nonmotorized trail along M-343.
