Utility work begins Monday on Golfside Road

Motorists are advised to seek an alternate route beginning Monday as there will be lane closures on Golfside Road between Packard Road and Clark Road for water main and sanitary sewer work.

The project is part of a joint venture with the Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority.

A minimum of one lane in each direction will be maintained, and delays are expected during construction although access for residents, businesses and deliveries will be maintained.

The Golfside Road Improvement project involves a “road diet,” resurfacing the roadway and converting the lane configuration from four lanes to three lanes with one lane in each direction, a center left turn lane, and bike lanes on both sides of the road. Currently, there are two northbound and two southbound lanes.

Golfside Road between Packard and Clark roads will be milled and resurfaced in addition to the sanitary sewer work. The $1.1 million project is expected to continue through July, and the lane closures are expected until further notice.
