While out doing stuff yesterday, I came upon some road construction on
the Huron Pkwy  bridge. Because of the work, lanes were reduced to one
going in each direction from  Fuller Rd to Huron River Dr. Not a very
long stretch but the traffic was backed up at the  traffic signals at
each end.

So while sitting there, I thought it might be a good idea to post
construction-work going on  in the area that the rest of us may or may
not be aware of yet--so that we can plan our  trips accordingly.

Also while I was out yesterday, I was in the area where they're doing
the work on Platt  and Packard.  The previous few times when I left the
subdivision on the northwest side of  that intersection, the traffic was
backed up considerably during the afternoon rush hour  [not
surprisingly].  Though when I was there around the same time yesterday,
there was  no problem whatsoever [I timed it right, I guess, since I had
less of a wait than I usually  do in normal situations at that
intersection at any time of day.


For those of you that need to travel on Whitaker Rd [located south of
94], they're doing  work on a bridge, so there's a detour from Textile
Rd to a side street [I forget the name  but its maybe 1/2 mile off of
Textile] and then a mile down to Merrit Rd and then back to  southbound
Textile.  So that does add a few minutes to my trip just about any time
I have  to go anywhere [I rarely have to go further south on Textile
from where I live].

Hmm, there must not be too much else going on, construction-wise, in the
area right now.  Cool!

Heh. Well, it looks like there is *about* to be some construction on 
Michigan Ave in Ypsilanti near Huron st. There are orange barrels on 
the side of the road but as of this morning, nothing has started yet 
and both lanes are open in each direction

Carpenter south of the bridge over I-94 is being widened. I can't tell you
the status of that, though, as we are avoiding it. 

Yeah, that intersection was a mess last time I went through there
[Carpenter and I think it  was maybe Michigan Ave?]  I'm wondering what
they're going to do on Michigan and  Huron St, though.  Huron Pkwy was
backed up going south at Fuller/Geddes due to that  construction at rush
hour today [I bet it was north bound, too].  I finally decided to take 
Geddes to the expressway to Washtenaw instead. That took a little while,
too, though.  But  that time a day, it wouldn've taken awhile any way I
went.

Another alternative route is Geddes all the way to Forest.  Saves a lot
of time at rush hour.  

There is contruction on East bound Washtenaw from Carpenter down past Spice
Tree Apartments (as far as I went to pick up Staci yesterday).  They are,
again, redoing the Huron Parkway bridge and the interface between Huron
Parkway and Geddes (West of Huron).  WCC is redoing its main entrance due to
the new Health and Fitness Center right across the street, involving shifting
and narrowning the entrance and installing a traffic light.

It looks like they're going to be some kind of work on at least the
westbound I94/Huron St  exit in Ypsi.  On the exit ramp, one of the
southbound HuronSt lanes has been closed for  maybe a week or so now,
though there hasn't been any work there started yet. But there  does
seem to be a few more pieces of machinery sitting on the northeast
corner of the  intersection.

And they're putting a couple much needed stop signs at 2 much needed
intersections on  the backroads near where I live.
