From the http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/article/20081018/NEWS01/810180312/1002/NEWS01 , the project to realign I-94 Business through downtown Battle Creek is complete.

According to "Brian" rawmustard@yahoo.com on greatlakesroads, the project moves the route off of the I-194 freeway to:

Dickman Blvd east to Main Street.
Main Street northwest to Hamblin Avenue
Hamblin east to Michigan Ave.

This removes the MI66_N point from the map. To follow this route exactly, three new points need to be added to the map.

From Google Maps' street layout, it looks like the new routing (as described above) follows a backwards-Z shape. Seems odd. Were some streets realigned or is the Z correct? I couldn't find a map on the MDOT site. My greatlakesroads membership is pending.

A memorandum of understanding for the transfer of jurisdiction over the roads comprising the old and new Business Loop was signed, effective November 6 2008. The memo is at http://www.golden-service.org/Pro/eGenda%206.nsf/926df99150790d338525715a00026e9c/9f6aa39e817f823e852574dd0055b53f/$FILE/MOU%20MDOT%2009-0048023.pdf

This new routing follows the wierd Z-curve through downtown. There was some construction done at East Dickman and Main Street to improve that intersection.
