Harvey St. Construction Update October 8, 2021
Published on Oct 8, 2021 14:43

Friday, October 8, 2021                

Even with rain over the last few days and some rain in the future forecast, work continues on Harvey St. The project is just beginning to hit the homestretch but still has a couple weeks left before completion. It is still on schedule for an early November completion, which is on track from the initial estimates.

Today and tomorrow (Saturday), crews will continue work on the last of the storm sewer piping. That should be completed Monday/Tuesday of next week, which marks the end of the underground portion of the project. The water main is now fully tested and connected to the water system, the minor couple sanitary sewers repairs were made, and the new storm sewer system has been upgraded.

You may have noticed this past week, that crews have poured curb and sidewalk on a good portion of the project area. Crews will be working on Saturday and the beginning of next week to prep for additional concrete work in the project area. Please remember that the concrete takes seven days to cure, so there may be times you may not see “work” being completed in a particular area; and that is most likely because of the cure time for the concrete crosswalks, sidewalks, and other areas.

While that work is being completed, the traffic signal mast arms and pedestrian signal pedestals will begin being installed in the Harvey and Penniman intersection. Like the Ann Arbor Trail and Harvey intersection, the crews will be digging the foundations, pouring the concrete, and running the conduit and wires, which will leave the intersection of Harvey and Penniman closed for the time being.

Harvey St. is beginning to look like a roadway again, but we still need to be patient and cautious anywhere in the construction area as there is still a lot of work to be done, and there are multiple crews working in that area to complete the project as quickly, but more importantly, as safely as possible.
