What a mess this construction is going to be for 696 commuters.
I’m up in Shelby Twp. so little impact but feel for the folks to the south.
I take Mound to 696 to Novi 5 days a week. This is going to suck!
Didn’t they just shut down all of I-696 ten or eleven years ago to rebuild it?
I don’t live in Michigan anymore but does John Carlo still get all the freeway repair business? I think maybe they should use someone who does better work.
And finally, Roseville politicians are idiots. The road crew should be working 24/7. Forget peace and tranquility.
I live a few hundred feet from a major road project. They work at night and it doesn’t bother me one bit. Not getting it done on time bothers me a lot.
So they’re so worried about the peace and quiet of the residents they’ll shave 30% off the workday and make the job take longer. Good job city council.
No time differential pay? Okay add 2x to the construction completion date. They will get their pay...
IF thee is a ‘completion date’ penalty in that contract, that portion has to be re-0written.
Changing the work hours AFTER a contract is signed is absolutely BREACH of CONTRACT.
When the 1994 earthquake took the Santa Monica freeway in Los Angeles out of commission, that work was done 24/7 until it was ready to be opened gain.
The construction company got a $1M a day BONUS for completing early. That money was split between he workers who had completed their individual contracts with C C Meyers.
There were warnings to the public all over media ahead of time telling people the work would be 24/7. They rented large mobile light systems to work at night.
Since ie was opened back up more than 3 months ahead of time, everyone was very happy.
