CENTER LINE — An extensive update to 10 Mile Road is set to start March 15.
At the Center Line City Council meeting March 3, City Manager Dennis Champine gave an update after attending a pre-construction meeting with the Macomb County Department of Roads.
“Our section of 10 Mile Road is being rebuilt and concrete is being put in place of what is now an asphalt surface,” Champine said. “The only section that is going to be resurfaced is the section in Warren from Mound to Ryan.”
The project does include a complete replacement of all storm sewers and sanitary lines under 10 Mile Road. This will be the first phase of the project. The second phase will be the more extensive construction that will last from the spring to the fall.
At the close of the March 3 meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Richard Moeller estimated the 10 Mile Road construction would be wrapped up by the end of November.
“Everyone, take your patience pill this summer as 10 Mile will be torn up and rebuilt so we don’t have to deal with all the potholes we deal with in the winter and spring,” Moeller said.
The project spans 10 Mile from Ryan Road to Lorraine Avenue, cutting through both Warren and Center Line.
Champine previously said the price tag for the project is about $16 million. Of that total amount, $10 million will be spent on the chunk of 10 Mile within Center Line and the remaining $6 million will be on Warren’s end. Center Line is chipping in $2 million for the project. The water main replacements along the roads have been completed and are currently in the cleanup stage, according to Champine.
“It’s a big project. It’s going to be a huge inconvenience,” Champine said.
