South Old Woodward Reconstruction Phase 3 Project Update August 16, 2022 Progress Update By the end of this week, pending concrete strength testing, the contractor intends to shift the southbound traffic lane to the east side of South Old Woodward Avenue, utilizing the newly placed concrete. The contractor plans to re-open Hazel Street as part of this traffic shift. In the meantime, please continue to use the Hazel Street temporary detour route below. In the event the traffic shift does not occur, southbound traffic will continue to be maintained on the west side of South Old Woodward Avenue, as it is currently. The contractor has started placing planter boxes south of Haynes Street and continues to install underground electric north of Hazel Street.  The contractor intends to have the construction site cleaned up and clear of construction crews by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, due to the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise event occurring along Woodward Avenue on Saturday, August 20. Hazel Street Temporary Detour Route Sidewalk Access and Parking Sidewalk access and free 2-hour parking information can be found here. All work is weather permitting. For more information, contact the Engineering Department at 248-530-1850 (prompt 2) or visit www.bhamgov.org/oldwoodwardphase3. We appreciate your patience throughout this project!
