Listed below are the road projects that
the Road Commission has scheduled to be completed for the 2011 construction
season (please note that the start/completion dates are only tentative
estimates regarding the project schedules):
1.
Waverly Road – Moores River Drive to Lansing Road. Drainage improvements and concrete pavement
repair. Lansing Charter Township. Federal Urban STP funding. Estimated Cost: $490,000. The west leg of Old Lansing Road will open on
May 9th. Waverly Road is
anticipated to be open to traffic during the third week of May. Thereafter, the remainder of the project will
only involve signal and drainage work which will require single lane closures
at times.
2.
Waverly Road – Bridge deck over I-96 to Jolly Road. Construction will be asphalt repaving over
asphalt stabilized base, including portions with curb and gutter, ADA ramp
upgrades, and drainage improvements. New
road surface will be widened from 2 to 3 lanes with paved shoulders. Delhi Charter Township. Federal Urban STP funding. Estimated cost: $1,000,000. Road reconstruction is anticipated to begin
on the morning of August 22nd. Waverly
Road will be closed to through traffic.
There will be a posted detour along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
(M-99) and Jolly Road. On Bishop Road
there will also be a posted detour for northbound traffic. Waverly Road is anticipated to re-open to
traffic by the week of November 7th.
There will then be intermittent lane closures for the next couple of
weeks to finish up restoration and ancillary work items. The project should be completed by the
Thanksgiving Holiday. Additionally,
Michigan State University will be monitoring the project for the purpose of the
crumb rubber research grant over the next few years.
3.
Willoughby Road Bridge – Over Sycamore Creek.
Bridge replacement. Alaiedon
Township. Federal and State Local Bridge
Program funding. Estimated Cost:
$850,000. This project is nearly
complete, and is now open to traffic.
4.
Cedar Street – Hancock Street to Keller Road. Construction will be cold milling and
repaving asphalt surface, along with storm sewer repairs, ADA ramp, and
pedestrian crossing signal upgrades.
Delhi Charter Township. Federal
Urban STP funding. Estimated cost:
$650,000. Beginning the evening of Wednesday,
August 17th, Cedar Street will be closed to southbound traffic from
Keller Road to Holt Road. The posted detour is Aurelius Road to Holt
Road, and then back to Cedar Street. Northbound traffic will be
maintained through the work zone. Cold
milling will begin the morning of August 18th, with leveling course
paving scheduled for August 22-23. Due to remaining prep work that needs
to be completed during the remainder of that week, it is most unlikely that top
course will be paved prior to the Holt Hometown festivities and parade.
We will adjust traffic control to the greatest extent possible to accommodate
the parade. Currently, we anticipate top
course paving to take place on August 29-30, and open to full traffic by the
end of that week. Some lane closures may continue into Mid/Late-September for
off-road work such as signals and restoration.
5.
Okemos Road Enhancement – Jolly Road to Clinton Street. Street lighting, decorative sidewalk,
plantings and furniture. Meridian
Charter Township. Federal Enhancement
Grant and Meridian Township funding.
Estimated Cost: $472,000.
