Carpenter Rd: Progress Through the Rain

Despite the rainy weather this week, our contractor is making progress on the Carpenter Road resurfacing project in Pittsfield Township. They will continue the concrete curb and sidewalk pours in the coming days as the weather allows. We are also making steady progress on the traffic signal work related to pedestrian signal upgrades and we have started the early stages of rain garden construction in front of the Home Depot.

We very much appreciate the patience of adjacent businesses during the removal and replacement of curb segments, resulting in the temporary closure of various driveways. The identified curb segments were in poor condition. The new curb will improve drainage and contribute to the longevity of the adjacent road surface.

We have also been working to adjust traffic signal timing to promote better traffic flow through the work zone. However, due to the reduced capacity associated with the lane closures, some motorist delays do exist during peak hours.

To help prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), our employees and contractors are instructed to practice social distancing while on the job site. If you have questions about the project, please do not approach staff in the field. Instead, contact Aaron Berkholz, senior project manager, [email protected], (734) 327-6648.
