Work began on the balconies of the building at the intersection of Main Street and Ann Arbor Trail last week, according to Sam Plymale of the Downtown Development Authority.
Crews will be removing and replacing all of the balconies on the building, he said, and drivers can expect lane closures and sidewalk closures during work hours from 7 a.m. through 3 p.m. Monday through Friday as boom trucks and scissor lifts are utilized in the area.
The project is expected to take approximately six weeks, but schedules may vary due to weather conditions, materials and other factors, Plymale said.
He cautioned drivers to reduce speesd and pedestrians to exercise caution around the work zone.
The Mayflower project is in addition to ongoing major work of Consumers Power which has reduced Main Street to two lanes and the city funded reconstruction of sections of the public parking deck in downtown.
