Progress Update
Sidewalks have been placed from Hazel Street through the south end of the project area along the east side of South Old Woodward Avenue. We thank the businesses and residents of the 555 Building for their patience as we worked with the facilities team to improve transition areas to the new sidewalk space.
The contractor was able to successfully complete the installation of all three new fire hydrants along the west side of South Old Woodward Avenue last week with limited interruptions in service to the businesses in the immediate area. Again, we thank the businesses for their patience while this work was completed.
The contractor has started to place the limestone base for the South Old Woodward Avenue road surface north of Hazel Street. The contractor plans to begin placing the new concrete for the driving lanes north of Hazel Street later this week. The electrician is continuing work on placing new conduit on the west side of South Old Woodward Avenue at Frank Street, heading south.
Consumers Energy continues to have crews working between George Street and Lincoln Street to move a gas main and complete individual connections to the new main.
