The City of Kalamazoo will host a virtual meeting on Wednesday, February 9, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss a project to reconstruct Inkster Bridge.

The meeting will also be recorded and made available on the City of Kalamazoo’s YouTube Channel following the meeting.
The Inkster Avenue Bridge over Bronson Boulevard was closed to vehicles in May 2021 out of an abundance of caution pertaining to safety concerns. The bridge has remained open to pedestrians and bicyclists. A design process for the bridge began in 2020 and is scheduled to be completed later this spring in order to apply for additional funding opportunities. Funding details will be discussed at the meeting, however, reconstruction of the bridge will start no later than 2024.
