Spring is here and warmer weather is slowly arriving, and that means the signs of orange barrels across metro Detroit.
On Tuesday morning, Wayne County unveiled its construction plan for the 2018 season, totaling nearly $66 million across 77 projects between roads and parks.
Some of the major work includes resurfacing W. Outer Dr. from McNichols to Schaefer in Detroit, resurfacing Warren Rd. at Beck and Canton Center and a concrete pavement reconstruction job on Sibley Rd. at Telegraph to Racho roads.
“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 Watts, Wayne County Department of Public Services Director. “We will continue to work hard and maximize the dollars provided to improve our county’s infrastructure.”
Residents will be able to keep up with the projects on the Wayne County website.
On top of that, there will be heavy road maintenance projects and mowing, sweeping and tree removal schedules from early May through October. The road maintenance projects will affect about 20 communities in the county.
The construction season runs through the end of November.
