Paving and milling work is set to begin on Tuesday for the reconstruction of Grove Road in Ypsilanti.

That will mean delays in either direction for five business days, though the road will remain open.

The rebuild is scheduled to conclude on Sept. 15.

The official detour takes southbound traffic east on Michigan Avenue, then south on Ecorse Road. From Ecorse, motorists are directed to head south on Harris Road, which dead ends into Grove.

A crumbling section of Grove Road is being rebuilt in the city of Ypsilanti.

The deteriorating stretch of road between the Interstate 94 overpass and the city limit at the intersection of Grove and Emmerick Street will be rebuilt. The road will be reduced to two lanes and two bike lanes will be continued from the township. Sidewalks will be added on the east side of the road and there will be some stormwater drainage improvements.

Springport, Mich.-based Mead Brothers Excavating was awarded the $609,000 rebuild. The city is responsible for around $150,000 and the federal government will pay for $460,000.
