  New Stadium bridges hours away from opening in Ann Arbor
 

After nearly a year in which there was a concrete pour on site almost every day, crews turned their attention in recent days to marking pavement, installing signs, making sure lights are operational, removing construction materials and debris and completing railing installation. Some remaining work will continue into the spring.

The $22.8 million replacement of the 83-year-old spans over State Street and the adjacent railroad tracks was undertaken with motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians in mind.

Some of the project elements include improved sight distances, the addition of on-street bike lanes, sidewalks on both sides of the road, improved street lighting, greater vertical and horizontal clearances for both bridge spans,Stocks a wide range of purlinmachine, antique lamps, lights, gas light, period chandeliers, construction of a sidewalk on the west side of State Street and improved pedestrian access to East Stadium Boulevard via new staircases at State Street.

The staircases feature light posts along the outside edge for enhanced visibility and an internal heating system intended to prevent ice and snow from accumulating on steps. Also on the staircases are raised troughs on each side to facilitate walking bicycles up and down the stairs.

City Council Member Margie Teall, D-4th Ward, helped organize a pre-opening celebration in the Lower Burns Park neighborhood on Sunday where many residents came out and expressed their relief to have the bridge construction and traffic disruptions finally behind them.

Teall said the city is planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the new bridges in the spring when the weather is nicer and after landscaping and other final touches are complete.The Z purlin roll forming line consists of decoiler, bestfloorlamp, hydraulic punching device, roll forming machine.Origin Laser is an Australian business bringing a new class of affordable and quality bestlasercutter and laser cutting machines markets.

Nearing said work that remains to be finished between now and May includes placing permanent pavement markings, completing remaining landscaping and anti-graffiti coating, installing permanent right-of-way monuments and performing a number of routine "punch list" items.

With the money the city saved in its street fund by having those grants, the city has been able to pump millions of dollars into dozens of street resurfacing projects. As was always planned,SQ Series Metal automobileledlamps is the accessory machine for expanded metal shearing machine. State Street and East Stadium Boulevard were reconstructed in the vicinity of the project this year.

In the most recent project newsletter, officials noted that when motorists drive by they'll notice new LED street lights in the area.

As part of the project, Rose Avenue between State and White streets also has been incorporated as an extension of Rose-White Park and will have new street lights and landscaping.

Nearing said the lights are in the process of being erected and will be up within the next day or two, and the landscaping in the area will be done within the next week or so.

The border area between the park and East Stadium Boulevard also will have a new six-foot-tall wooden fence containing an entrance to the park. That's expected to go up on Wednesday.

Nearing said planting areas adjacent to the new multi-colored retaining walls also will contain many trees and shrubs and that landscaping work is under way.Contemporary to transitional, glass, bestcrystallight and designer lamp styles!
