Construction on the Adrian Pedestrian Tunnel progressed this week. The first pieces of pipe were installed yesterday, and construction progress will dramatically increase over the next month. The project remains on schedule.
Progress Report
- Mass excavation is complete on the west side of M-52
- Dewatering efforts increased
- Storm sewer outfall and new storm drainage pipe are being installed
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 9
- 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:
