Grand Haven Charter Township - Contract 1 Transmission Main No. 03

Progress Report: The Contractor continued restoration efforts on the Grant Avenue intersection. The Contractor also started to set up traffic control and detour for the closure of Ferry Street between Taylor Ave and Grant Ave starting next week. The dewatering system was installed and the west lane of Ferry Street was removed from Grant Avenue to Taylor Avenue to prepare for water main installation to the south.

Upcoming Work: The Contractor will remove curb and gutter and driveways on the west side of Ferry Street next week starting from Grant Avenue and working south to Taylor Avenue. Starting early next week the Contractor will continue progress with water main construction to the south. Asphalt crews will be on site early to mid next week to install asphalt on the Grant Avenue intersection.

Extra Notes: Residents and motorists are reminded to stay clear of construction equipment and excavations on the project site. As water main construction continues south, access to each property will be affected and will change with the progress of construction.

Upcoming Work:

McCormick Sand is going to begin the mobilization process on the project starting on Monday, April 1st for the first phase of the project at Grant Avenue. Mobilization will consist of delivering construction equipment and materials to the project location. Traffic Control devices are going to be set up which will involve the closure of Grant Avenue and Ferry Street from Grant Ave to Colfax St. A detour will be set up utilizing Pennoyer Ave, Beechtree St, and Taylor Ave. Once the road closure is set up, McCormick Sand will begin excavating into the Ferry Street and Grant Avenue intersection for water main construction.

Extra Notes:

To ensure information is readily available to residents, property owners, service providers, and those affected by detour routes, the City has created an email distribution list to communicate project updates. If anyone would like to receive updates, please email dkollewehr@grandhaven.org stating that they would like to receive updates related to the Ferry Street project.

Residents and motorists are asked to be patient while traffic control and road closures are being set up for the start of the project and always to use caution when they are around construction activity.
