In addtion to the udpates below, Winchester Woods is scheduled to commence this year. Note that this project and the prime contractor are not affiliated with the Winchester Village construction that is ongoing. The general contractor for this section is T.G. Priehs, of Imlay City.

The project scope for Winchester Woods impacts IMPROVED STREETS ONLY (Chesterfield, Birchcrest, Oakview, Valleyview, Young, & Eton Ct). The unimproved sections of the subdivision are not included for paving or ditching. The work includes road rehabilitation in the form of milling and resurfacing or road base pulverization with an asphalt cap. Limited full depth reconstruction will occur. The project also includes limited drainage work that includes public culverts and ditches. In order to meet proposed ditch and road grades, many driveways are scheduled to be removed and replaced with like kind materials. Note that existing headwalls that were privately installed on some driveways are NOT intended to be replaced. If this is an area of concern, please contact the city.

Driveways will remain accessible in most cases with limited exceptions during active demolition and excavation. Homeowners should expect personal contact and instructions prior to such a disturbance. Concrete curing, will result in an inability to access your driveway for up to 6-10 days (most drives can be done ½ at a time and cure within three days, allowing access).

The project is planned to commence in mid-April and be completed in early August. As always, weather, emergencies, and underground conditions can alter the proposed timeline.

Note that weekly curbside waste collection is expected throughout the project, with any special needs to be addressed by the contractor. On street parking will be accommodated as well, as directed by the contractor and city staff.
