Harvey St. Construction Begins August 16th
Published on Aug 15, 2021 11:35

Construction on Harvey St. between Ann Arbor Trail and Penniman is set to begin on Monday, August 16th. Crews will begin by setting up barricades and signage signifying the construction area, closures, and appropriate detour route(s).

Once that is complete, crews will begin removing the road surface. During this phase of construction southbound Harvey St. will be closed at Penniman. Northbound Harvey St. will allow for access to the St. Joe's medical facility parking lot for patients; however, there will not be access to the parking deck and Fleet St. off of Harvey St.

Access to the parking deck and Fleet St. will be from Ann Arbor Trail between Ironwood and Sun & Snow. Motorists can access both levels of the parking deck by entering from Ann Arbor Trail and driving around the deck along Fleet St. and entering as they normally would. To exit the parking deck, motorists can either drive around Fleet St. to the south side or from the lower level at the southeast corner (where parking blocks will be removed) and exit back to Ann Arbor Trail. There will be cones and signage to assist during this phase.

There are loading zones set up throughout downtown to assist the business in receiving deliveries during the construction on Harvey St. While smaller box-type trucks can still traverse around Fleet St., the larger trucks will not be able to make the turns due to no access from Harvey St. There are loading zones located on Penniman, Main St. (Kellogg Park side), and two on Ann Arbor Trail (one just west of Main St. and the other just east of Harvey St.). The zones are set up and enforced from 6AM to 11AM, with the Ann Arbor Trail just west of Main St. enforced from 6AM to 3PM.

Thank you, in advance, for your patience and understanding, during this project. We ask for your help in making this a safe project for all; yourself, other pedestrians and motorists, as well as the crews working. If you can avoid the immediate area, that would be the best course of action; however, if your travels require you to be in or near the construction zone(s), please exercise additional caution.
