Plymouth motorists celebrated last week when the intersection of Harvey Street and Penniman opened to traffic.
The intersection officially opened last Friday after three months of construction during which new utilities were installed, including a new water main installed under the Tonquish Creek, new wider, ADA sidewalks constructed, additional lighting was connected, a new mid-block crossing installed connecting the Tonquish Creek Nature Trail to downtown, and the foundations for the new mast arm signals and pedestrian crossing signals were prepped for installation next spring.
Officials said there will be some on-going restoration work taking place during the next few weeks.
Pedestrians and motorists will still see crews finishing some brick work, as well as trees, topsoil, sod and other landscape work. There is one small asphalt patch left to complete on Penniman, which will require a short-term detour. That will be announced, city officials said, when the construction schedule is set.
Caution is urged in the Harvey Street area while crews are working to put the finishing touches on the project.
“Thanks you for your support and enthusiasm during the past few months. We hope we delivered a timely, responsible project that will last for years to come,” officials said in a prepared statement.
Questions regarding this or other road projects can be directed to the Plymouth Department of Municipal Services at (734) 453-7737 or dms@plymouth mi.gov.Plymouth motorists celebrated last week when the intersection of Harvey Street and Penniman opened to traffic.
