Woodward Avenue Resurfacing Starts In September

BIRMINGHAM, MI — Residents will get a chance to provide input on a Woodward Avenue resurfacing project that scheduled to start next month. The Michigan Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting on Aug. 29 at the Baldwin Public Library.

The resurfacing project will replace asphalt, make sidewalk ramps improvements, concrete repairs, minor drainage improvements, and signal modernization at Oak Avenue. Work is slated to occur between 14 Mile Road and Quarton Road/Big Beaver Road starting next month.

Concrete patching will be done in September and October on weekends. Work crews will return in April 2018 for paving, which will require a variety of lane closures and work hours. The project is expected to be completed in August 2018.

The Aug. 29 meeting will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The Baldwin Public Library is located at 300 W Merrill Street in Birmingham.
