Grand Haven, MI (WGHN) – The Fulton Street reconstruction project is moving into its final month. Crews are finishing up sewer and water tie-ins before paving begins. This week, work includes installing the sanitary sewer at the Fifth Street intersection, adding storm sewer between Fourth and Fifth, and continuing restoration between Third and Fourth streets. Last week, crews paved the base layer up to Fourth Street, tied in the new water main, and removed the old one. They also started storm sewer work between Fourth and Fifth.
Next week, drivers can expect to see road rebuilding, grading, and fresh concrete for curbs, sidewalks, and driveways between Fourth and Fifth streets. Paving is planned for mid-October.
The project, now in its twenty-first week, is on track to finish by late October — at a cost under three million dollars, well below the original estimate.
Construction schedules can often change, but we will do our best to provide up-to-date information in each update or let you know if there are time-sensitive updates.
Access to Properties
Access to properties will remain open unless there is active construction happening in front of your driveway or concrete work is in progress or curing. If you have questions or concerns about parking, please look for the on-site inspector (Mark Anthony with Abonmarche Engineering) or talk to one of the contractors for help. Feel free to reach me at 616-847-4888 or dkollewehr@grandhaven.org as well.
Traffic Control
Fulton Avenue, from Second Street to the Fifth Street intersection, remains closed to through traffic, although local traffic may use the roadway between Second and Fourth Street to access driveways/properties. The intersection at First Street is open to through traffic to Jackson and Washington, and the Second and Third Street intersections are also open to traffic. Please be sure to stay alert and watch for detour routes and changes to detours as the project heads east on Fulton. Exercise caution and be observant when driving or walking through the construction zone. Follow sidewalk detours and do not enter the active construction site. If you happen to encounter any issues with detours, please report them so our team can look them over and address them if necessary.
