Holmes Road between Spencer Lane and Ridge Road in Ypsilanti Township is expected to be closed to through traffic Monday for road construction that's expected to last into July.

Emergency services, school and AATA buses, garbage pickup, postal delivery and motorists traveling to and from addresses within the closure limits will continue to have access, according to an advisory from the Washtenaw County Road Commission. Detours during the project will include Ridge Road, Clark Road and Midway Road and Spencer Lane and Michigan Avenue.

Ridge Road will remain open to traffic during the project. The project includes rebuilding the road with storm sewers, concrete curbs and gutters, and new asphalt pavement. Once complete, the road will remain two lanes with 4-foot bicycle lanes on both sides.

At the intersection of Holmes and Ridge, additional turn lanes will be constructed on Holmes and new sidewalks will be constructed along both sides of the road.

Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority (YCUA) will work on water main and sanitary sewer improvements during the road project.

For the safety of road crews, the Road Commission asks drivers to use extra caution around personnel, equipment, and trucks on the site.
