bridge

closed

Travelers in Sumpter
Township will need to find
another route as the bridge on
Elwell Road has been deemed
as unsafe and closed by officials.
Engineers from the Wayne
County Road Commission exam-
ined the bridge, on Elwell Road
south of Arkona in the township,
last week. Following their report,
county officials closed the bridge
and have labeled it as unsafe for
any traffic.
County officials said the clo-
sure is indefinitely due to the
"bridge's failure." A closer inspec-
tion and estimate of repair time,
which could be at best a few
weeks and at worst next spring,
was expected last week.
Avondale

project

nears end

Trash collection resumed the
regular schedule on Avondale
Road in Inkster last week as
Phase One of the reconstruction
of the road continues.
Dumpsters placed along side
streets for the collection of trash
during the construction were
also scheduled to be removed,
according to city officials. The
project includes the reconstruc-
tion of Avondale between Henry

the project, which began in
March is expected this month.

along with new sidewalks and
accessible ramps. The project
also included a new water main,
a new storm sewer and repairs
to the existing sanitary sewer.
Motorists have been detoured
onto Henry Ruff, Cherry Hill and
Inkster roads during the work.
If residential water is cloudy, ,
residents are advised to run the
faucet until the water clears.
