GRAND HAVEN — The resurfacing of several streets in Grand Haven is underway as part of the city’s 2025 Street Resurfacing Project.

The project kicked off on Tuesday, April 21, with manhole removal and lowering in preparation for milling, the process of removing the existing deteriorated road surface. 

Motorists can expect some inconvenience during the project, but Grand Haven Assistant City Manager and Interim Director of Public Works Dana Kollewehr asks residents for patience. 

“While inconvenient, street resurfacing is necessary to lengthen the life of our roads and maintain city infrastructure,” Kollewehr said. “We thank everyone for their patience while this important work is being completed.”

Paving is scheduled to begin the week of April 28, according to a news release. 

The following streets are scheduled for paving on Monday, April 28: 

• Second Street (from Howard Avenue to Franklin Street)
• Fifth Street (from Franklin Street to Howard Avenue)
• Madison Street (from Despelder Street to Beacon Boulevard)

Paving will continue on Wednesday, April 30, on Robbins Road (from Moreland Street to Robbins Nest) and Griffin Street (from Pennoyer Avenue to Fulton Street). Cutler Street (from Grant Avenue to Park Avenue) is scheduled for paving on Saturday, May 3.
