A construction project taking place in Lansing is causing major headaches for the people who live in the area.
The Combined Sewer Overflow Project continues this summer in Moore's Park Neighborhood.
FOX 47's Megan Hiler talked with homeowners, and the city, about construction frustration.
"It was just a big hassle because they had so much to do on this part, it took them like a month and a half just to do these two blocks" said Ronald Littleton who lives near the construction.
Although the construction has moved further down the street, Littleton can still remember the headache it caused when it was happening over the summer near his home.
"Just the inconvieniece and the dust and the take this thing and they pound the ground to make it sturdy and they just keep doing that and they roll over it with this roller and it shakes the house" said Littleton. "But that's something thats got to be done I guess."
Littleton isn't the only person living on the street dealing with this.
"All day long, you hear the trucks moving and just banging an booming, and different things like that. Its just been a nightmare."
The city says that it hears the residents complains and it wants to keep them happy but this project is necessary.
"Yes it is disruptive and we realize that, thats why we try to get the work done as quickly as possible and working extra hours" said Andrew Kilpatrick, the Lansing Director of Public Service. "The hope is that after the construction is done and people see the nice, new street that they will be happy and worth the pain they are going through now,"
Neighbors know the work has to be done, but that doesn't make it any less cumbersome.
"We're thankful for all that they are doing, but through this, its been a nightmare. Hopefully soon it will be over with."
The city of Lansing says the work should take about six weeks on each street.
The entire project should be done by the end of 2019.
