More Construction Headed to TC

March 23, 2024

April 1 is—no fooling—the start of the reconstruction of Eighth St. and S. Union in downtown Traverse City. (Just when you thought you’d mastered the detours for the Parkway!) The project’s scope includes a full redo of the intersection with new concrete pavement and brick crosswalks. Expect the intersection to be closed to cars, bikes, and pedestrians for the duration of the work, though the city says access to all businesses and the Old Town Parking Garage will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. Team Elmer’s is expected to finish the reconstruction by the end of April, weather permitting. Detour mapsare available at traversecitymi.gov/projects/20232024-pavement-preservation-project.html. And P.S. At the end of April, the Garfield/Potter roundabout work begins, and that intersection will also be closed until its completion in June. Good luck, travelers!
