The Hoham Drive project in Plymouth is moving forward.
Plymouth City Engineer Rick Gaul told the Plymouth Redevelopment Commission members Tuesday night that information from the public hearing is awaiting federal and approval by INDOT.
In the meantime, the design phase is moving forward and the environmental document will be signed soon.
Officials with engineering consultant firm Lochmueller Group discussed the details of the project during the public hearing in November which includes the widening of Hoham Drive from Michigan Street to a point 260 feet west of Western Avenue. This will allow for a 14-foot, two-way left turn west of Western Avenue and a dedicated eastbound right turn lane at Western Avenue. Curb, gutters and a sidewalk are a part of the project as well.
The purpose of this project is to help truck traffic and other vehicles maneuver along Hoham Drive and Western Avenue. The proposed construction will occur during an 8-month period beginning in 2022 with local access available, but thru-traffic will be restricted. Hoham Drive will reopen to the public in 2023, according to the preliminary timeline.
The total cost of the project is $3.21 million. The City of Plymouth will have federal aide to help pay for the project.
