Grand River Greenway Gets New Tunnel | Grand Rapids News

Get ready for a major upgrade to your outdoor adventures—Northland Drive in Plainfield Township is shutting down Sept 25–Oct 5 for the construction of a new pedestrian tunnel, bridging a critical gap in the Grand River Greenway trail system. This 10-day blitz will install the tunnel, storm pipes, and electrical systems, then repave the road—all to create a safer, continuous path for walkers and bikers. Plus, a half-mile paved trail on the east side will connect seven Mile Road to Cannonsburg Road, extending the network toward Knapp Street in Ada. Temporary road closure? Yes. But long-term payoff? A safer, more connected community trail system that makes getting outside easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
