South Old Woodward Reconstruction Phase 3 Project Update
July 12, 2022
Progress Update
The contractor is preparing to install water main at both Hazel Street and Frank Street by inserting a valve to allow the City to stop water at the Frank Street and South Old Woodward Avenue intersection, allowing the City to maintain water to the west, while shutting off water in the project zone. Additionally, the contractor continues to work on the sewer north of Hazel Street and the electrical contractor continues to install conduit for the east side of South Old Woodward Avenue. 

Please note, Hazel Street is scheduled to be temporarily closed between Woodward Avenue and Frank Street from Wednesday, July 13 - Friday, July 15, weather permitting. Please see the recommended temporary detour route below. Hazel Street is scheduled to reopen at the end of the day on Saturday, July 16. Parking on Hazel Street will not be available during the closure. Frank Street will be open to access southbound South Old Woodward Avenue during this time.
