Bluff Street Parking Ramp Restoration to Begin

The Bluff Street Parking Ramp, located between Front and Third Streets, will be closed to public hourly parking to accommodate a restoration project beginning Monday, August 30, 2021. Parking access will be maintained for rental parking permit holders, with parking shifts necessary to accommodate partial closures throughout the two-phased project. The east side of both the upper and lower levels of the structure will be closed beginning Monday, August 30 to accommodate phase one repairs. Parking will be maintained on both levels of the west side for parking permit holders only during phase one construction. The electric vehicle charging station will not be available during phase one. Subsequent to the completion of phase one, the west side of the structure will be closed during phase two, with rental permit parking only to resume on the east side at that time.

Parking permit holders will be contacted directly with more detailed information. Signed two-way ingress and egress will be provided, and motorists are advised to exercise caution when entering and leaving the parking structure. Public parking will be available on-street or in other public parking lots throughout downtown.

Ram Construction Services of Kentwood, Michigan is the general contractor for the project, which is expected to be completed by October 15, 2021; however, weather and delays could affect its duration. The Marquette Downtown Development Authority asks for your patience during the restoration process.
