PORTION OF SWEDE AVENUE CLOSED ON FRIDAY

Final paving operations that will close Swede Avenue from E. Ashman Street to Patrick Road have been rescheduled from the original construction date of Thursday, September 22, to Friday, September 23, weather permitting. That project is expected to be completed and the roadway reopened by Friday evening.

Motorists should seek alternate routes around the construction zone to avoid traffic congestion and delays.

This work marks the near end of the Swede Avenue reconstruction project, which involved reconstructing and resurfacing the roadway from E. Ashman to Patrick. During the week of September 26, there will be intermittent lane closures on Swede for final cleanup of the project, but the work will not require the rerouting of traffic.

Motorists are encouraged to sign up for weekly and last-minute City of Midland construction updates by subscribing to City Hall News on the City’s website at www.midland-mi.org under the “What’s New/Updates” heading. Motorists may also check the construction updates page on the City of Midland website for construction detour maps and details. Look under the “What’s New/Updates” heading.
