Construction on the Adrian Pedestrian Tunnel had some slow, but steady and safe progress this week. The project remains on schedule.
Progress Report
- Drainage pipe installation continued from the outlet up towards the base of the tunnel
- Coordination with other utilities for any potential conflicts with construction
- More materials delivered to the site
Upcoming Work Planned for Next Few Weeks:
- Complete 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 23
- Traffic shifts that we warned about last week will likely take place later next week – reminder with map shown again – tentatively planned for March 25, 2026
- 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.
- Communication cable splicing will begin in preparation for the relocation of phone lines on the east side of M-52
- The first section of the precast tunnel will be delivered and installed around the first week of April
Traffic shift to occur later next week:
