Beverly Road construction now in final phase

Work is now under way on the third and
final phase of the reconstruction of
Beverly Road in Romulus.
The project is a collaboration of the city,
Wayne County Federal Aid Committee and
Michigan Department of Transportation
(MDOT) and is expected to take four to six
months to complete, officials said.
Beverly Road has been a point of com-
plaint in the community for many years,
they said. The two-lane road was worn
down, severely damaged and had open
ditches on either side. After multiple
meetings and phone calls with residents,
city officials approached the Wayne
County Federal Aid Committee and
MDOT in March 2019 to form a partner-
ship to plan, implement and phase in a
three-year reconstruction of Beverly Road
