Sewer Construction to Begin Along Michigan Ave.

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Get ready for some major traffic headaches Monday along a quarter mile stretch of Michigan Avenue in the west Dearborn business district.

Traffic along Michigan Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction from Monroe to 700 feet east of Brady to accommodate the city’s storm sewer separation project along Michigan Avenue.

Construction begins Monday, June 22, and will last about seven weeks.

The sewer separation is part of the City’s Combined Sewer Overflow Control Project, which is mandated by the federal government.

The majority of the construction over the seven weeks will take place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. to reduce the inconvenience created by this improvement project. However, some of the work may be performed during the day, such as concrete paving.
