E. Stadium Blvd. Improvements Project
Project Overview
The City of Ann Arbor is currently in the design phase for a project to make improvements to E. Stadium Boulevard between Packard Road and Washtenaw Avenue. In addition to repaving the roadway, other improvements include replacing water main from Packard Rd. to Brockman, and, installation of new ADA compliant sidewalk ramps. The existing water mains located on both north and south sides of the E. Stadium Blvd. are insufficient in size, have experienced frequent breaks and do not provide adequate fire flow.
We do not anticipate widening the road as part of this project.

Impact on Traffic & Local Residents
Access to driveways will be maintained during this time, with the exception of some short periods of time when the water main installation crosses in front of your driveway. When this occurs, the contractor or a City representative will knock on residents’ doors to make sure the driveway does not need to be accessed during that time.
Garbage collection and mail delivery will be maintained throughout the project. Water service will be maintained during construction, except for brief periods when the new water main is tied in to the existing main, and when house services are transferred to the new main. Written notice will be given to residents two days before these shutoffs.
Unfortunately, the construction will generate dust and noise, and will cause some inconvenience. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during the project.
Progress Updates
Funding for the project will be coming from various sources. Funding for water main improvements will be funded by the City Water Fund. Road construction work will be paid for by the Street Resurfacing Millage.
Progress Updates
Once construction is ready to begin, we will be sending out e-mail updates to anyone interested in receiving them. If you would like to receive these progress/schedule updates, please send an e-mail to ikotlyar@a2gov.org and you will be added to the list.
