About the program:
Local Road Program, 2022 Construction Season
- Year one of the Local Road Program will reconstruct First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, N. Oak, Thurber and N. Howard Streets. Critical sewer repairs on Walnut Street near Second Street and sewer repairs are included, as this infrastructure is located under the streets. Several existing combined sewers will be brought up to standard, and manholes and storm drains will be repaired. Sidewalk-at-street intersections will be updated to meet current standards. Replacement street signs and pavement markings are included in the project.
- Contractor: Waldorf and Sons, Inc., Mt. Morris, Michigan
- Schedule: Staging and underground excavation work is planned to start as early as the week of June 27th with substantial completion by November 15. Depending on weather, final grading and lawn restoration may be completed in spring of 2023.
- Detour Route: No detour route is planned. The contractor and site supervisor will advise each homeowner when driveway access will be limited or restricted as work progresses though the project area.
This map shows what will take place in 2023 and 2024 under Phase I (Years one to three) of the 10-year program, which is funded by the sale of bonds approved by voters in 2021. The plan for 2025 and beyond will be prepared based on road conditions and needs in 2024, as the relative condition of different streets can change over time based on usage, original materials used and more.
Torrey Road Improvement
This road is eligible for federal transportation funds, which cover the majority of the cost. It is not part of the local streets bonding program.
What's being done: Just under one mile of pavement rehabilitation. Workers will pulverize, crush and shape the existing asphalt roadway with a new hot mix asphalt surface. Improvements include new passing flare at Georgetown Parkway, guardrail improvements at the S. Long Lake bridge, new sidewalk (east side of road) from North Road to Georgetown Parkway.
Contractor: Ace Saginaw Paving, Saginaw, Michigan
Schedule: Construction to start early July with re-open to traffic, late October 2022.
Detour: Road will remain open to local traffic for access to Georgetown Parkway and local businesses in the construction area. The posted detour route is North Road to Lahring Road to Torrey Road and vice versa.
