Monday, September 13, 2021

Hopefully you were able to enjoy the Fall Festival and the offerings of the service clubs, including the pancake breakfast by the Kiwanis Club and the Rotary Club’s Bar-Be-Que Chicken dinner.  

Crews were back bright and early on Monday to continue the Harvey St. project. Monday will be a long day for the crews as they will be making the first connection of the new water main to the system. In addition, crews will be working into the evening to connect the Arbor Health building to the new system but won’t begin that process until after public hours at the building.  There will be some temporary water service interruptions for a small group of businesses during the day on Monday. Each of the businesses affected have been notified personally and coordinated with for this step of the process. Unless you have been personally contacted by the city for a temporary service interruption on Monday, it is anticipated that your water will continue to be in service as normal.

On Tuesday morning, crews will be connecting the water service lines for the businesses along Harvey St. between Ann Arbor Trail and Penniman to the new water main. There will be temporary water service interruptions for only those businesses being connected and they have all been notified and coordinated with for this step in the process. 

In addition, crews will also begin excavation of the intersection of Ann Arbor Trail and Harvey. This will create detours in the following areas:

               Northbound Harvey will detour at Wing St. to either Main St. or McKinley/Evergreen

               Southbound Harvey will detour at Penniman/Church to Main St.

               Eastbound Ann Arbor Trail will detour at McKinley to Wing St.

               Westbound Ann Arbor Trail will detour to Main St. or Forest Ave.

We understand there are residents and business within the detour area and travel will be permitted to local traffic in those areas; however, the through traffic will need to follow the posted detours. There will be additional signage indicating the detour route as well as barricades signifying the limits of the construction zone.

To visually represent this next phase in the project, you can view the 2021 Infrastructure Improvement Packet Traffic Stage 3 map which can be found by clicking on the link.

In addition, we have prepared a diagram showing the detour route while the intersection of Ann Arbor Trail and Harvey is closed to through traffic. You can view that map, by clicking on the following link: 2021 Ann Arbor Trail and Harvey Detour Map.
