Work on revamping Warren Avenue in Dearborn with new infrastructure and streetscape improvements is set to begin this week.
The $4.9-million project, in its second phase, will rebuild Warren Avenue east of Schaefer to the city limit. The improvements will include new sewers, pavement, curbs and multitude of streetscape improvements, such as 40 new street lights with pedestrian lamps, about 90 new planting areas complete with trees and daylilies and new sidewalks with stamped colored patterns.
Warren Avenue, home of one of the largest Arab enclaves in America, will be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. Work is expected to last through October.
