QUARTERLY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
February 2023 - May 2023
1. MAJOR ROAD OVERLAY – 14 MILE, I75 TO DEQUINDRE
The City of Troy, in cooperation with the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) and the City of Madison Heights are rehabilitating 14 Mile Road, from I75 to Dequindre. This project includes milling (grinding off) the existing pavement and placing a new asphalt pavement surface; modernizing the traffic signals; upgrading pedestrian crossings to comply with American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements; and improving drainage where necessary. Consumers Energy will close eastbound 14 Mile, from east of I75 to John R through the end of November 2022 for gas main relocation work. Westbound 14 Mile will remain open to traffic during the gas main relocation work. Traffic signal foundation work will follow Consumers Energy work in early winter 2022. Road work is not anticipated to start until the spring of 2023.
2. STEPHENSON HIGHWAY WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT
The existing water main on the east side of Stephenson Highway, from Fourteen Mile Road to Maple Road, has exceeded its service life. This project will replace and upsize this main to upgrade the water and fire protection in this office area, while eliminating costly water main breaks that are more common with older water mains. Construction started in September and be substantially complete by the end of December. Pavement repairs, restoration and final project cleanup will take place in the spring of 2023.
3. MINNESOTA – 14 MILE TO AMERICAN WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT
The existing water main on Minnesota and American has exceeded its service life. This project will replace and upsize this main to upgrade the water and fire protection in this industrial area, while eliminating costly water main breaks that are more common with older water mains. Along with the water main work, there will be substantial concrete road patching following the water main work. Construction will start in March and is anticipated to be substantially complete by July 2023. Restoration will follow the roadwork, as weather allows, and final cleanup will be completed in the fall of 2023.
4. MAJOR ROAD OVERLAY – BEACH ROAD, WATTLES TO SOUTH BOULEVARD
Beach road is scheduled to receive an asphalt pavement overlay from Wattles to South Blvd. This project includes milling (grinding off) select areas of the existing pavement, full depth patching of deteriorated pavement and placing a new asphalt pavement surface. Work is anticipated to start in April 2023 and be substantially complete by September 2023.
5. PRESSURE REDUCING VAULT #7 RENOVATIONS
This project will rehabilitate a pressure reducing vault (PRV) located at the northeast corner of Big Beaver and Coolidge. This vault regulates water main pressures in the southwest quadrant of the City and is showing signs of deterioration. Access to the vault will be improved to comply with current standards. American’s with Disabilities (ADA) improvements will also be included as part of the project. Work is anticipated to start in February 2023 and be substantially complete by late June 2023.
6. 2023 WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
The City has identified multiple gap areas in the water main network that need to have new water main placed in order to close the gap and have a more efficient and redundant water works system and provide better fire protection. Also, the City is proposing to transfer all services and fire hydrants from the soon to be abandoned 8 inch water main on Coolidge Ave. from Maple to Derby to the adjacent 16 inch water main. Construction is scheduled to start in May and be substantially complete by the end of December. Pavement repairs, restoration and final project cleanup will take place in the spring of 2024.
