Construction on the Adrian Pedestrian Tunnel had some slow progress this week due to the Michigan March weather. However, the project does remain on schedule.
Progress Report
- Drainage pipe installed from the outlet installed last week up towards the base of the tunnel
- Coordination with other utilities for any potential conflicts with construction
Upcoming Work Planned for Next Few Weeks:
- Continue storm sewer installation up to the tunnel, including backfilling over the new storm sewer
- Water main relocation will begin later in the week of March 16
- Traffic shifts that we warned about last week will likely take place later next week – reminder with map shown again
- Traffic will be impacted with lane shifts on M-52
- Traffic at the tunnel location will be reduced to one lane in each direction, with all traffic getting shifted to the current northbound lanes. This will only be between the Railroad crossing and Cross Street. M-52 will remain open to all traffic, just reduced to one lane in each direction and shifted to the east side of the road.
- The first section of the precast tunnel will be delivered and installed
Traffic shift to occur later next week:
