TRAFFIC ALERT: A major milestone has been reached for the Poseyville Preserve Project: Pedestrian walkway pieces have been successfully set across the Tittabawassee River!

This project is progressing in sequence as planned; however, a few factors have extended the E. Main St. closure from the previously estimated early July to the end of September. Delays in crane arrival and an extensive walkway inspection slowed things down a bit. Additionally, the walkway’s deck requires a specialized concrete that must be poured in small sections and cured over a seven-day period. Recent high temperatures and rain days have delayed this process. Walkway installation must be 100% complete before reconstruction of E. Main St. can begin.

E. Main St., including on-street parking, will remain closed to through traffic from just east of the Poseyville Bridge to State St. Main St. traffic continues to be detoured to Townsend, Ellsworth, and State Streets. Main St. will be open and parking maintained through Cronkright St., including the Riverside Place parking lot. The sidewalk along the East End building has reopened to pedestrian traffic! Please note that construction activities can occur in close proximity to the newly-opened sidewalk. Check the comments for a closure map.

The Poseyville Preserve Project includes restoration of a former industrial site to the riparian ecosystem native to this area, a pedestrian walkway spanning the Tittabawassee River, accessible fishing spots, connections to walking and biking paths, and more. Visit cityofmidlandmi.gov/poseyville
