CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Updated Road Construction Schedule for Roads without Curb & Gutter in Tacoma Hills and Upcoming Closures to Tacoma Blvd
Ongoing Construction Activity: For roads that do NOT have curb and gutter, the Township’s contractor continues to work on driveway restoration.
June 18-19: Weather permitting, new curb and gutter will be poured at the Tacoma Blvd and Hamilton Road intersection.
June 20: Weather permitting, Tacoma Blvd, from Tomahawk Road to Hamilton Road, will receive a cement stabilization treatment to add additional strength under Tacoma Blvd prior to paving. Tacoma Blvd, from Tomahawk Road to Hamilton Road, will be closed to traffic until sometime on Tuesday, June 24 to perform this treatment and allow it to properly cure. To protect Tacoma Blvd and to help us ensure the new road realizes its full life expectancy, please do NOT go around the barricades until they are removed by the contractor.
June 23: Weather permitting, the Township’s contractor will perform an asphalt stabilization treatment to the gravel base of Tacoma Blvd, from 4369 Tacoma Blvd to Hamilton Road, to add additional strength under Tacoma Blvd prior to paving.
We will have to close Tacoma Blvd, from 4369 Tacoma Blvd to Hamilton Road, beginning around 7 a.m. on Monday, June 23 until sometime on Tuesday, June 24 to perform this treatment and allow it to properly cure.
Therefore, if your driveway connects to Tacoma Blvd where closures are shown on the map, please move your vehicle to an adjacent road by the evening of Sunday, June 22. THIS INCLUDES THE DRIVEWAYS AT 1940 PAWNEE TRL AND 4578, 4556, AND 4530 TACOMA BLVD.
Please continue to park your vehicles on adjacent roads until the barricades are removed by the construction crew sometime on Tuesday, June 24. During this period of time, all motorists in Tacoma Hills will have to use Manitou Dr to get in and out of the neighborhood, as shown on the map below.
To protect Tacoma Blvd and to help us ensure the new road realizes its full life expectancy, please do NOT go around the barricades.
Paving dates will be announced soon for paving the first layer of asphalt on Pawnee Cir, the east-most portion of Lagoon Drive, and Tacoma Blvd (from 4369 Tacoma Blvd to Hamilton Road).
Then, once all roads without curb and gutter have had the first layer of asphalt paved, the second and final layer of asphalt will be paved on these roads over the course of about 3 days.
Once all paving work has been completed, manholes will then be raised and have cement collars poured around them. Cones will be left around the concrete collars while the concrete cures.
Please do NOT drive over the concrete collars around manholes under the cones have been collected.
If the weather cooperates, the Township currently anticipates being able to at least have the first layer of asphalt paved on all of the roads before July 4th holiday. The contractors will likely need return after the 4th of July holiday to finish paving, raise manholes, and finish final restoration work.
We sincerely apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused during construction, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve your neighborhood and our entire community.

Tacoma Hills Update

Consumers Energy is currently finishing up their replacement of natural gas mains and service lines in Tacoma Hills prior to road work beginning. We currently estimate that Consumers Energy will complete their work by April 25.
The Township hopes to confirm a weather-dependent schedule for completing spot repairs to storm drains by Monday, April 14. This weather-dependent schedule will be published once it has been confirmed. The Township currently anticipates the storm drain repairs occurring between mid-April and mid-May.
Prior to the paving work beginning, damaged or settled sections of curb and gutter, that are preventing proper road drainage, will be replaced. The Township does not replace curb and gutter for aesthetic purposes. The Township currently anticipates that curb and gutter spot repairs will occur between April 21 and May 16.
If the curb and gutter across your driveway is removed, there will be a period of time when you have to drive over with the curb and gutter missing. Once the concrete is scheduled to be poured, Lopez Concrete Construction LLC, will communicate with property owners to ensure that they get their vehicles out of the driveway before concrete is poured. The concrete will take 5-7 days to cure. During this period of time, if concrete was poured across your driveway frontage, you will need to park in the street.
The Township’s paving contractor will begin work once the storm drain spot repair and curb and gutter spot repair work has been completed, which will likely be in mid- to late-May.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused during construction, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve your neighborhood and our community.

UPDATE (2/13/25) Tacoma Hills Neighborhood
Consumers Energy will begin natural gas utility work in mid-to-late February. This work is estimated to be
completed between late March and mid-April.
Consumers Energy will replace a natural gas main and gas service lines that serve homes in the Tacoma Hills
neighborhood. If the service line to your house needs to be replaced, Consumers Energy will contact you
directly to schedule this work. Gas service to your home will need to be shut off for a brief period to
complete the replacement. Scheduling with Consumers Energy in a timely manner will help keep the Local
Roads Program on track.
Any questions regarding the gas upgrades should be directed to Adam Bertram with Consumers Energy
at Adam.Bertram@cmsenergy.com or 517.374.2375.
This work is being performed in coordination with Meridian Township’s Local Roads Program to reduce the
need to cut the newly paved roads in the future. The roads that will be resurfaced in 2025 are shown in blue on
the map at the bottom of this update, and Consumers Energy will be working in the project limits shown in blue
on the map.
Spot repairs to storm drains will also be performed in coordination with the 2025 road resurfacing in Tacoma
Hills.
