The project will involve removal of the existing road surface and concrete pavement repairs followed by the application of three inches of new asphalt. There will also be improvements to concrete curbs and gutters, sidewalks and crosswalk ramps as well as drainage enhancements and upgrades to the traffic signals at the Coolidge intersection with Judson (the south entrance to Beaumont Hospital).
The project is expected to cost about $815,000. Of this amount, $642,000 is being paid for with federal funds. RCOC and the City of Royal Oak will split the remaining costs.
