Road construction season will be in full swing starting next week in Big Rapids as one of the area's most popular roads will be having some work done.

 

According to a letter from Big Rapids Public Works Director Heather Bowman, the city and the Michigan Department of Transportation have a coordinating project along Perry Avenue beginning Monday, May 9th.

 

Bowman says that grass/sod will be removed in the right away between the curb and sidewalk to allow for snow removal to be more efficient in the winter and to assist debris to not flow into the roadway.

 

Traffic will be impacted during this time and access to driveways may also be briefly impacted while work is taking place.
