First phase of Livernois boulevarding project wrapping up

Phase One of the Livernois Boulevard project is expected to wrap up by the end of the month, according to Sunny Jacob, traffic engineer with the Detroit Department of Public Works. Jacob has observed traffic in the area flowing smoothly and hopes the project will promote more pedestrian traffic along the corridor.

Phase One stretched between Eight Mile and McNichols, Phase Two will extend the boulevard south to Davison and Phase Three to Grand River. Both future phases will begin construction in 2008; reconstruction of the Lodge Freeway will prevent any work to occur during the 2007 construction season.
