Wayne County Releases Improvement Projects for 2018 Construction Season
Major work outlined includes resurfacing of West Outer Drive in Detroit from McNichols to Schaefer, resurfacing on Warren Road at Beck and Canton Center and a concrete pavement reconstruction job at Sibley Road at Telegraphy to Racho roads. Motorists will be alerted of each improvement project with new stationed signage and full list on the Wayne County website.
"It's been a tough and frustrating winter, particularly for motorists. Now that temperatures are starting to warm, we are eager to get construction season projects underway to improve our roads and parks," said Beverly Watt, Wayne County Department of Public Service Director. "We will continue to work hard and maximize the dollars provided to improve our county's infrastructure.
The County also announced the heavy road maintenance projects and mowing, sweeping and tree removal schedules which are expected to begin in early May and conclude by October. The road maintenance projects are expected to impact 20 communities throughout Wayne County. The Roads Division will have 60 seasonal workers to support the completion of the maintenance work.
Wayne County Parks Division will have 13 capital improvement projects this year including in Trenton's Elizabeth Park Greenway a new paved pathway, fishing platforms, ADA accessible kayak launch and shoreline restoration. Also in Hines Park at Hawthorn Ridge, a bike park is planned to serve as an extension of the recently constructed bike trails. The projects will total nearly $6 million.
Wayne County's construction season runs through the end of November.
