About four weeks remain on road project

The Mapleleaf Drive reconstruction project should be completed in approximately four weeks, weather permitting, according to Warner Engineering Associates Inc., of Mt. Pleasant, the engineering firm for the project.

Beginning Monday, Sept. 12, all traffic into the Walmart Distribution Center employee parking lot and Lomont Molding are asked to alter their entrances to employee parking lots.

Walmart Distribution Center employees should enter from Iris Street and Lomont from the back entrance of the building.

Early Monday morning, traffic control will be switched to allow all employees from the Walmart Distribution employee parking lot and the Lomont parking lot to enter and exit by way of west on Mapleleaf Drive to Grand Avenue. At this time, Mapleleaf Drive will be closed from Iris Street west to the east side of the Lomont driveway.

Crews will still be finishing pouring intake box outs and backfilling and the final grading in phase two.

Following that, crews will begin removal of pavement and grading on the final phase of the Mapleleaf project. This work will take approximately four weeks, a Warner Engineering official said.

The only traffic on Mapleleaf Drive east of Harvey Drive should be Walmart Distribution and Lomont employees and trucks using the Burlington Junction Railway yard.

There will be no outlet other than via the parking lots of these businesses.
