City Manager Paul Zelnick told the City Council on Aug. 25 that the Pontiac Trail Road project is scheduled to run from March 2026 through November 2026 and that the total program budget is roughly $11,000,000.
The project corridor runs from 9 Mile to the railroad tracks north of 10 Mile, Zelnick said. Staff is still awaiting a detailed breakdown of the city portion and county portion of construction costs before returning to council with more specifics.
Zelnick said he had not received any feedback from the road commission following a recent budget review. He also urged coordination between the county and CSX on the railroad crossing, an issue raised by a council member during the meeting.
No council action was taken; the city manager presented the status as an informational update and said staff will provide cost-share information when it becomes available.
