Road closures continue for Costco Warehouse traffic improvements
By Amy Biolchini
Airport Boulevard at State Street has been reopened. Several lane closures remain in effect:
- Ellsworth between State Street and Lohr Road
- Airport Boulevard between Ellsworth Road and State Street
At least one lane will be open on both roads during the construction, and delays are expected.
Road work began in April near the new Costco Warehouse site and is continuing on schedule.
Officials estimate the work should be completed by the end of the week.
The Costco store and gas station are expected to open June 29.
The project was paid for by Costco, and is being completed in a partnership including Pittsfield Township, the city of Ann Arbor and the Road Commission.

It's nice to see the traffic signals will be the traditional Washtenaw style mounted to the stainless/galvanized polls versus the swinging and dangling ones seen on state routes.

Shopping at Costco will be a nice departure from the Tea Party owned Walmart and Sam's Club.

If only the UM paid for the public road repairs and upgrades that are adjacent to their property. Why can't the UM be as good a corporate neighbor as Costco?

The Costco website still shows a June 29 opening date for this location.

Didn't the sign on the south side of the building say Opening June 29 at one time? It now says Opening Soon and the soon looks pasted in...
