GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Construction season is in full swing, some current projects are causing back-ups and several more are about to begin on Monday.

Plainfield Avenue from I-96 to 5 Mile Road is smooth moving now but come Monday a resurfacing project will be underway. Leaving owners at A Davis Brown Salon worried about the bottom line.

"People's frustration rise with the construction we currently have," says salon owner Erin Brown.  "I think what it will do is effect our schedules, people are not going to want to come after work because the traffic is more heavy."

The corridior on 28th Street is almost half way through its season long project that has lanes shut down. Soon the eastbound lanes will be completed and traffic will be shifted onto those lanes. All the changes and back-ups have drivers like Michael Isabell avoiding the area. 

SYRACUSE, NY (WZZM) - Despite being outshot 28-21, The Grand Rapids Griffins managed to draw first blood in the Calder Cup Finals series against the Syracuse Crunch.

Griffins won game one Saturday night in Syracuse, 3-1.

Grand Rapids got a first period goal from Mitch Callahan, which stood up into the 3rd period when Riley Sheehan lit the lamp to give the Griffins a 2-0 lead.

Less than 2 minutes later, the Crunch countered. J.P. Cote uncorked a 75-foot wrister that Petr Mrazek never saw.

The Griffins once again found themselves nursing a one goal lead at 2-1.

With under a minute to play, Syracuse pulled its goaltender to add an extra skater, but the Griffins managed to get control of the puck and Gustav Nyquist tallied an empty-net goal, sealing the win for the Griffins.

Grand Rapids now has a 1-game-to-none lead in the series.

Game two is Sunday night in Syracuse beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET.
