CITY OF DETROIT: City Announces Plans to Resurface 93 Miles of Roads In 2020 Using New Safe Work Protocols

Road

City of Detroit issued the following announcement on May 21.

The City of Detroit has begun its first road improvement program in the era of COVID-19, with plans to repave 93 miles of major roads and residential side streets, all under strict work safety rules announced three weeks ago by Mayor Mike Duggan.

This year, city workers and contracted work crews will resurface 44 miles of major thoroughfares and 49 miles of local roads, while one city bridge will be rehabilitated. Work this year also will include construction on five separate streetscape projects that have been designed to beautify and enhance those commercial corridors.

In all cases, safe workplace protocols have been put in place to ensure that the safety of city and contracted employees and the public is maintained. All road construction workers on these projects will: (1) have taken and passed a Covid-19 test, (2) wear face masks and social distance when on the worksite, and (3) have their temperatures taken daily and be screened for symptoms of the coronavirus.
