Town Center Drive Chosen for Reconstruction Project

Lane configurations and roadway operations are among much-needed changes taking place as part of a nearly $1 million project on Town Center Drive from Grand River to Crescent Boulevard this summer.

Novi’s interim city manager Victor Cardenas said that Town Center Drive is in much need of repairs, the Observer and Eccentric reports.

Pavex Corp. was chosen as the general contractor for the project at a bid price of $955,526.

“Improvements to the sidewalks and ramps as well as other minor improvements will be completed within the project limits,” Rob Hayes, director of public services, said.

Changes called for in a 2011 master plan to make Novi more bicycle friendly mean bike lanes will be added on Town Center Drive between Grand River and 11 Mile.

Novi doesn’t yet have rights to all of the property along Town Center Drive, but officials are working to get temporary permits so construction can begin.

Construction is expected to be complete this fall, Hayes.
