Downtown sidewalk work continues
MACOMB — Downtown sidewalk pouring continues with new locations beginning Monday, May 23.
McCarthy Improvement will continue pouring sidewalks on the east side of S. Lafayette Street and the east side of North Lafayette Street. During this phase of the construction, all traffic will be closed on South and North Lafayette St. entering and exiting the square during the day. After hours, traffic north bound, coming onto the square, on South Lafayette will remain closed. All traffic going south bound, exiting the square, on South Lafayette will be open for traffic after hours. All traffic going north bound, exiting the square, on N. Lafayette will remain closed after hours. All traffic coming onto the square after hours on North Lafayette will be open for traffic.
Starting Monday, May 23, 2022 (weather permitting), McCarthy Improvement will begin removing sidewalks on the North Side of the Square. During this phase of the North side, outer parking will be closed in that area.
McCarthy Improvement plans to complete the project has been updated as follows:
East Jackson St. – Complete, except for paving
South Lafayette Street (East Side) and North Randolph Street (West Side) – in progress
North Lafayette Street (East Side) – in progress
North Side Square – Starting next week
South Side Square
South Randolph Street (West Side)
Entrances to the businesses will be accessible through the construction process. As the contractor is pouring sidewalks in front of businesses, pedestrian walkways will continue to shift through this process. Pedestrians are encouraged to pay attention to the changing walk patterns.
The estimated date of completion for the entire Downtown Revitalization Project is September 2022. More information can be found on the City Macomb Website, Downtown Macomb/Facebook, or join us in the City Hall Community Room for weekly update meetings each Thursday at 10 a.m.
