KENTWOOD, Mich. (WZZM) - Now that construction is causing traffic delays on 28th Street in Kentwood, drivers are looking for ways to avoid the congestion.  

Some are choosing a bypass that is not only considered unsafe, but also illegal.  They are taking a detour through the parking lot of the Home Depot store on the corner to get around the tie up at 28th and Patterson.

"They were using it as a cut-through," explains Home Depot assistant manager Mike Morrissey. "Our concern is for the safety of everyone who shops at the store. We needed to stop the flow of traffic across the front of the building."

With the help of the Michigan Department of Transportation, Home Depot installed additional stop signs and barriers to discourage drivers from cutting through.

Kentwood Police are also patrolling the lot and writing tickets when they catch people trying to bypass the traffic signal.

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) - A fan of the University of Michigan and her friend are driving to Atlanta after she unexpectedly got two free tickets to the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four.

Whitney Smith is a bartender at Watermark Country Club in Cascade Township. One of the members gave her the tickets.

"He told me at the beginning the year he might have tickets if Michigan goes all the way," she explains. "I didn't think anything of it. Then I got an e-mail. He had extra tickets and he saved a couple for me."

Whitney says she and the club member have cheered the Wolverines during their games at the Watermark Grill. This year the team is in contention for the championship.

"This is a huge deal," she says. "Look at how long we have waited for Michigan to go to the Final 4 again. I'm taking a friend that also works here and we are going to drive the 12 hours."
