ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE:
Beginning Monday, September 20, South Putnam St. will be closed to traffic at the railroad crossing. The closure is anticipated to last through October 4. The posted detour route will route local traffic to Zimmer Road by way of Grand River Avenue to the north or Linn Road to the south. Truck traffic will be detoured along I-96 to M-52 at the Webberville exit and then to Grand River Avenue.

The traffic closure is part of a project to abandon two approximately 100-year old water mains that cross  underneath the railroad tracks and replace with a new water main to improve water reliability in the system.  We appreciate your patience during this disruption to regular traffic flow.

•OLD MILL PARK CONSTRUCTION NOTICE

Construction work started in July to replace the wooden boardwalk with a new sidewalk and walking path along North Putnam Street and in Old Mill Park along the Red Cedar River. Two-way traffic will be maintained on North Putnam Street throughout the project, but traffic lanes will be shifted slightly to the east to allow for the construction activity to occur. A new crosswalk will also be installed just north of the intersection of North Putnam Street and High Street to connect Old Mill Park to McCormick Park.  During construction, the sidewalk/boardwalk on the west side of North Putnam Street from West Riverside Street to Old Mill Park will be closed to pedestrians. Pedestrians are encouraged to use the sidewalk on the east side of North Putnam Street. Construction activity is expected to last two to three months, weather depending. Thank you for your patience during this construction project.

This project is supported by a Transportation Alternatives Program grant from the Michigan Department of Transportation and a Public Spaces Community Places grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.  Click here for project plan images.
