Major summer project unveiled by Michigan Department of transportation in Dickinson County

KINGSFORD, Mich. (WZMQ) – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) revealed plans for a $2.5 million dollar summer road construction project. Spearheading the project is Steve Cadeau, MDOT’s Construction Engineer.

The focus of the endeavor centers on the reconstruction of a paved road within the city of Kingsford, specifically targeting M-95 on Carpenter Avenue. This comprehensive overhaul coincides with the city’s imperative to replace its water main and sewer infrastructure. The reconstruction is set to commence on May 20th.

Steve Cadeau emphasized the importance of public awareness, urging motorists to anticipate delays and exercise caution. “I’d like folks to know to expect delays, slow down. Put your phone down, and watch for changes throughout the project,” he advised. Cadeau also highlighted the integral roles of hometown contractors, Bacco Construction and Coleman Engineering, in the project’s execution.  “[We have] two hometown contractors that are playing a big part in this project. Bacco Construction and Coleman Engineering. Glad to have them on board,” he shared.

To ensure transparent communication and seamless progress tracking, MDOT intends to convene weekly meetings at Kingsford City Hall throughout the summer. The department of transportation expects to have the project wrapped up in August.

Accompanying Cadeau in this endeavor are key personnel including Tim Kinney, Assistant Construction Engineer, and Dan Absolon, On-site Project Inspector. Bacco Construction, led by Project Manager Chris Rigatoni, and Coleman Engineering, with Project Manager Scott Nowak at the helm, contribute their expertise to the multifaceted undertaking.

Outlined in four major stages, the project’s meticulous approach aims to minimize disruptions while maximizing efficiency:

1. Reconstructing the east side of Carpenter and Hamilton intersection precedes the west side, accompanied by detour route enhancements and intersection radii improvements.

2. Sequentially reconstructing the west side of M-95 (Carpenter Ave), progressing from South to North, with northbound traffic redirected to the existing outside lane.

3. Initiating the reconstruction of the West side of the Woodward and Carpenter Avenue intersection, followed by the East side of Woodward at Carpenter Avenue intersection, with northbound traffic shifted accordingly.

4. Concluding with the reconstruction of the east side of M-95 (Carpenter Ave), proceeding from North to South, necessitating temporary traffic realignments for both northbound and southbound lanes.

Reflecting on the project’s scope, Cadeau reassured residents, stating, “We’ve got a major project coming to Kingsford. We would like folks to know that we’re going to maintain traffic throughout the project. Northbound traffic in Kingsford is going to stay on Carpenter Avenue, and it’ll just be shipping from one side of the road to the other. And basically straight on through, and you can still access all the businesses. Southbound traffic is going to be necked down to one laying through the town, and then we’re going to detour [traffic] to Kimberly, Hamilton, and then back to Carpenter Avenue.”
