Van Buren County gets $3.9M grant to replace aging 40th Street bridge over Paw Paw River.

The Van Buren County Road Commission received a $3.9 million grant to replace the 40th Street bridge over the Paw Paw River in Waverly Township. This is the county's first bridge replacement since 2015 and its largest grant ever. The existing timber bridge is poorly rated and has a weight limit, causing significant traffic decline. Engineering for the new steel bridge will begin next year, with construction in 2027. A 10% local match is required, to be shared by Waverly Township and the county.
