KCRC employees across divisions went orange for GO Orange Day. Wearing orange shows support for our coworkers in the work zone and honors those who have been lost. Remember - slow down, stay alert and give crews space. #NWZAW #GoOrange #WorkZoneSafety

KCRC is preparing for potential flooding this weekend as river levels rise. Additional road closures are possible, especially in low-lying areas. For your safety, respect traffic barriers and do not drive through water. https://t.co/dHygDvpyCX

Division Avenue is temporarily closed from Fonger Street to 11 Mile Road due to water over the road. Therefore, the 10 Mile Road/Pine Island Drive roundabout project detour has been adjusted, with Alpine Avenue replacing the Division Avenue segment of the detour.

Last night’s severe weather brought down trees, power lines and displaced work zone signs across Kent County. Crews responded overnight and continue today. Watch for debris, never drive through standing water, and call 911 for immediate hazards.

[Kent County Road Commission @MIKCRC]

Please be aware of the flood advisory from @KentCountyMI
Remember:
- If there is water over the road, turn around!
- If there is a "road closed" sign, turn around and find an alternate route.
Be smart and stay safe!
