Support Livonia
esses,
As you know, Livonia
residents and businesses
are preparing for a monu-
mental disruption to
our community,with the
March 24th closing of a mrr
significant section of the . ® t
1-96 freeway. ' ,
db
This Michigan
is a—
Department of Transpor- AiL
.
tation (MDOT) project
will replace a seven- r
mile stretch of the free-
,.
way from Newburgh to
Telegraph, which will
include repairs or replacement Qf all 37 bridges.
There will also be numerous safety improve- W
ments and aesthetic enhancements, such as new
LED lights and new fencing.
After surveys of residents and businesses,
MDOT decided to close the freeway completely ` !`. �- ► `ar';
during the project so it can be completed within
one construction season.The contractor is
expected to begin demolition in late March and
complete the work in October.
When planning an alternate route, please note
that both the east and west Schoolcraft Service
Drive will be reduced by one lane of traffic. The lane closest to 1-96 will be used by the
contractor.
Support of Livonia business is critical
We know this project will have a significant impact on people who live, work,
play, shop and learn here. I have heard from many members of our
business community who expect to see their businesses severely 1
affected during these months of closure.
I hope everyone will do everything possible to support Livonia
businesses adversely affected by this construction project. Freeway reconstruction,bridge
closures and other factors will very likely result in a significant loss of customers. To keep these
local businesses viable, you may literally need to travel that extra mile–please do so.

o-' mewing our local roads
x Construction begins this summer on the second
year of a 10 year renewal road millage to continue
the Livonia Road Repair Program. The renewal
i; millage was approved in August 2012 and provides
the funding to repair the street network within
Livonia to bring the entire network level up to a
condition classification of "Good" The following
road repair approaches will be used to accomplish
this objective:
Reconstruction-Complete removal and
,...:..w - replacement of concrete and asphalt roads.
Rehabilitation-The existing asphalt pavement
will be pulverized,blended and shaped into
additional aggregate road base. The new
- pavement will be 4"thick asphalt over the
pulverized road base. (The process may result
in a slightly higher finished road elevation.)
Planned Preventative Maintenance-Less
expensive preservation construction methods
extend pavement life by:
• Replacement of isolated failed areas of concrete
streets.
• Surface milling and resurfacing of asphalt
roads with a 11/2"to 2"asphalt overlay.
• Joint and crack sealing of both pavement types
- where the road is in good condition.
Affected Citizens who are scheduled to have
their street paved will be invited to a public
information meeting in mid April once
�r contractors have been selected to do the paving.
