In 2013, the Van Buren Township Downtown Development Authority was awarded federal grant funding to assist in installing new traffic signals along Belleville Road from Tyler Road to the North I-94 Service Drive.
Beginning in mid-April, the DDA district along Belleville Road, from Tyler Road to just north of the Belleville Road bridge over I-94 and then south of the bridge about 300 feet, will receive roadway improvements, including new milling of the roadway.
Construction is expected to begin April 14, and will be completed in two phases:
• The south end of the project is set to be completed by July 12; and
• The north end of the project is set to be completed by Aug. 15.
These new traffic signals will match those at the Ecorse/Belleville Road intersection and will include pedestrian-friendly walkways.
DDA Executive Director Susan Ireland said this project will require periodic lane closures and traffic shifts during construction.
“These major improvements will improve safety and accessibility to the businesses along Belleville Road,” Ireland said.
“The Van Buren Township DDA is thrilled about this project, which will greatly benefit our entire community and its businesses, residents, and guests,” she added.
