Miller Road rehabilitation continues. The project includes repair of select drainage structures, joint repair, and a significant amount of curb replacement. Resurfacing will occur at the end of the project. There will be limited sidewalk replacement and driveway approach replacement. This work is limited to areas that must meet ADA needs. There will not be any changes to the lane configuration or any addition of onstreet parking. Temporay lane changes will continue so that the contractor can work on two lanes at a time, while leaving two lanes open to traffic for most repairs. For those that inquired about timing, the city did pursue completion prior to school commencing. With construction season spanning April to November, communities must pay a hefty and literal financial premium to schedule their project between mid-June and mid-August. This is the equivilient to spring break airfare and would consume resources slated for other road projects. We appreciate your patience with the added inconvienence.

 

Prevenetative maintenance crack fill application is complete. City-wide pavement markings/striping will follow.

 

The city still awaits final approval of water main designs for the Phase II of the USDA water main replacment project. This has been under USDA ane EGLE review for many months. The water main engineering approval is directly tied to the reconstruction of Durwood, Norbury, Greenleaf, Whitney, and Winshall. Once this approval is granted by EGLE, we expect to bid. Due to the experienced delay, it is not likely that any significant reconstruction will commence in 2023. Winchester Woods resurfacing will also be bid at this time.
