SWEDE AVENUE CLOSED TO THROUGH

TRAFFIC STARTING TODAY

Effective immediately, Swede Avenue is closed to through traffic from E. Ashman Street to Eastlawn Drive for approximately two weeks.

The closure is part of a Swede Avenue reconstruction and resurfacing project from Patrick Road to E. Ashman Street that is expected to be completed by late September. A portion of storm sewer is being replaced from Rapanos Drive to E. Ashman Street, and a small section of water main will be replaced near the intersection of Swede and Eastlawn Drive.

Motorists are encouraged to find alternate routes around this construction area to avoid congestion and delays.

With the 2005 construction season currently underway, motorists are encouraged to sign up for weekly and last-minute construction updates by subscribing to City Hall News on the City of Midland 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.
