South Old Woodward Reconstruction Phase 3 Project Update
October 11, 2022
Progress Update
Last week, the contractor completed the drive lane paving and continued working on forming planter boxes.

This week, the contractor continues to form and place planter boxes and is working on placing the decorative exposed aggregate concrete north of Hazel Street. The contractor plans to have the landscaping along the east side of South Old Woodward Avenue south of Hazel Street, completed by the end of the week. Below is a look at the new bioswale at the south end of the project. A bioswale is a vegetated, shallow landscaped depression designed to capture, treat and infiltrate stormwater runoff as it moves downstream.
