Downtown Fenton Streetscape Update - July 10

This week was a shortened construction week due to stoppages required by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the weather on Tuesday. However they were to continue pouring concrete for the sidewalks and gutter pans. Work was also completed on the Shiawassee River Bridge and they are making a sewer connection at Ellen and LeRoy. Champagne-Marx is trying to complete the work at LeRoy and Ellen before phase 2 begins so the construction zone can begin on LeRoy north of Ellen.

Paving of Shiawassee and LeRoy is scheduled to take place on Thursday and Friday next week, weather permitting. They will be laying the base course and leveling course of asphalt on the road way. Expect street closures when the work is being completed. However once completed, the road will be drivable. The final top course of asphalt will be placed toward the end of the project this fall.

I will update next week about the second phase of the project. City Administration will be meeting with Champagne-Marx next week to discuss this.

Just a reminder that Fenton ArtWalk is this Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Please come to Downtown for the festivities. All of the streets will be open and people will be able to walk throughout the downtown on the new sidewalk and temporary sidewalks that will be available.

As always, please be safe and mindful of your surroundings in the construction zone. If you have questions please free to email streetscape2015@cityoffenton.org.
