2022 Infrastructure improvements

The project was originally designed in 2022 by Wade Trim for construction in 2022 and was funded 100% by the City of Plymouth.

As part of the city’s annual program, the City & Wade Trim coordinated infrastructure programs very closely with Consumer’s Energy, which needed to make significant gas system upgrades along Carol Avenue and South Evergreen Street. Due to the amount of work, Consumers Energy didn’t get their gas system improvements completed until late in the fall season of 2022, so the City’s reconstruction project started in the spring (April) of 2023 in good weather. This project extended from the intersection of Beech Street and Evergreen Street to McKinley in the City of Plymouth.

The full-depth pavement removal required phased construction to facilitate complete resident access at all times.

The project included 7,000 square yards of 7-inch, non-reinforced concrete pavement with integral curb. Also 12,000 square feet of concrete driveway and sidewalk/ADA Ramps. A total of 1,700 cubic yards of concrete was placed on this project.

This project had an accelerated schedule, and all concrete was placed within 30 days between June 10th to July 10th. Carol Avenue was completed and open to traffic in August 2023.
