5/1/13 - Construction season is here, and that will mean some traffic slowdowns for Fenton area commuters this summer. Most of the projects planned for the area this year are relatively small, especially when compared to the disruptive North LeRoy Street project in 2012. The Tri County Times reports that work will begin this week on North Fenton Road, which will be widened to include a center left turn lane for 1.3 miles between Bly Street and Butcher Road. The $2.9 million project will be completed in late October, but during construction all through-traffic will be rerouted to Torrey Road. A utility project will also take place to provide a water line to the Cornerstone Building, a planned residential and commercial development project on LeRoy Street between Caroline Street and Silver Lake Road. That project will reduce LeRoy to a single lane in each direction. Small crack repair projects will also take place around Fenton and Argentine Townships, but the exact locations have not been announced. Some median work on US-23 will take place south of Ann Arbor, but MDOT is not planning any projects on the roadway this year in Livingston or Genesee Counties. (TD)
