View looking south along US 131 from the 68th St. overpass at Exit 76. The southbound C/D lane from the M-6 interchange continues up to the spot where the entrance ramp from 68th St. merges in with the C/D lane. At that point, the concrete barrier between the mainline and C/D lanes ends, and the C/D lane blends back in with the three mainline US 131 South lanes to form a fourth lane for the 76th St. exit. |

Scene of US 131 as viewed from the 68th St. overpass, looking north toward the expansive cloverleaf interchange with M-6. The ramps from US 131 South to 68th St. and from 68th St. to US 131 North are direct with the mainline US 131 lanes. These connections take place via braided ramps that cross over the respective C/D lanes for the M-6 interchange. |

These views look northerly approaching the Wealthy Street and US-131 Business exits. It is somewhat unusual to see exits departing from both the left and right side of the freeway almost simultaneously. US-131 was upgraded to a freeway through Grand Rapids fairly early within the freeway era, and accordingly has several design elements such as this that would no longer be implemented on a more modern freeway. |
