NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF SAULT STE. MARIE MICHIGAN
**************************
Effective Monday, June 6t at 7 a.m., Payne & Dolan will begin the 3 Mile Road reconstruction project.
The project area will be from the roundabout to M-129 and will consist of crushing existing bituminous pavement surface, adding two inches of aggregate to the crushed material while shaping the new aggregate base course, then applying 3.5 inches of hot mix asphalt pavement surface in two courses over the new aggregate base course.
The project will also include improvements to shoulders, adjusting the final grade of existing driveways to blend in with the raised road surface, guardrail work, permanent signage, and pavement markings.
The project starts June 6 with mobilization and end on or before July 11, 2022. See attached map for location and barricades. Traffic will be reduced to 1-way traffic leading from the Roundabout going East to M-129. Walmart and Fernelius have graciously agreed to close their 3 Mile access driveways to expedite construction.
Two adjacent property-owner letters were previously sent out in February and May and an adjacent property owner meeting will be held at City Hall on May 24th to mitigate any issues. The City appreciates the cooperation of all area residents and motorists during this construction activity. For any questions regarding this project please contact the City Engineering Department at 632-5734 as well as follow our Facebook page @SSMCity
