In Progress
Virginia Park Streetscape Project
Virginia Park Road (John C. Lodge Freeway to Woodward Ave.)
The Virginia Park Road Reconstruction project is a curb-to-curb reconstruction of the historic 30-foot-wide road from John C. Lodge Freeway to Woodward Ave. The road itself is characterized by its original brick paver surface and stone curbs which will be replaced. Additional improvements of strategically target areas could include repair of worn concrete sidewalk and driveway approaches that front the street, replacement of several noncompliant ADA crosswalk ramps, new shade street trees, and minimal upgrades to existing site furnishings. The estimated construction cost for the project is $5,278,100 with construction starting on Spring 2025 to be completed late Fall 2025.
