A four-month repaving of Huron River Drive in Romulus is set to begin next week.
The City of Romulus was awarded federal funding through the State of Michigan to resurface the road between Eureka and Pennsylvania Road. The contractor will begin mobilizing to the site and setting up traffic control next week. Construction on the roadway is scheduled to begin on or about May 22, city officials explained.
Huron River Drive will be resurfaced one lane at a time, while one section of the road is being completed, a flagger will be utilized to maintain two-way traffic and allow residents that live in the area to safely pass through the work zone. Throughout construction, Huron River Drive will only be open to local residential traffic, and through traffic will be prohibited, city officials cautioned drivers.
Garbage collection for area residents will remain uninterrupted during the construction. Residents in the construction area should place the garbage for collection at the usual pick-up collection on the usual day, officials added. There will be no interruption to delivery of mail or parcels, they added.
The project is expected to be complete in approximately four months, officials said, and urged drivers to use caution and follow the posted detour signs or use an alternate route in the area.
