Portage, MI – Both directions of S. Westnedge Avenue are currently closed following a personal injury crash Thursday morning, according to the Portage Department of Public Safety.
The department said in a post around 25 minutes ago that the closure affects the 6900 block of S. Westnedge Avenue. Both northbound and southbound lanes are shut down as emergency crews respond to the scene.
According to officials, the incident involves a personal injury, though additional details on the number of vehicles or extent of injuries have not yet been released. Drivers are being urged to avoid the area and seek alternate routes until further notice.
The closure is causing significant traffic disruptions near the affected stretch, which is a busy corridor connecting Portage Road and Romence Road Parkway.
Motorists traveling through the area should plan extra time for their commute and watch for updates from the Portage Department of Public Safety on social media for when lanes reopen.
