Red Bud Trail is currently closed to traffic between Little Glendora Road and Grange Road in Buchanan and Oronoko Townships, following weather-related erosion, according to an announcement on April 6.
The closure affects drivers traveling near the closest cities of Berrien Springs and Buchanan. Officials say the road will remain shut until repairs are completed, with an estimated reopening in May. The timeline for reopening depends on work progression and weather conditions.
“Due to weather related erosion Red Bud Trail is currently closed to traffic between Little Glendora Road and Grange Road. Until repairs are made and road reopened, all thru traffic will be required to seek alternative routes,” the announcement said.
