Road construction updates 2014-08-04

Today’s update from the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) 2014-08-04

14 Mile Road at the east side of Northwestern Highway

Starting August 4, work will begin in the median of Northwestern Highway near the east leg of 14 Mile Road that will require lane closures on Northwestern Hwy. 14 Mile Road will be closed at the east side of the intersection with Northwestern Highway sometime in mid to late August. Updates with an exact closing date will be forthcoming. This RCOC project includes reconstruction and realignment of the east leg of the intersection and is the first phase of the larger 14 Mile/Orchard Lake/Northwestern Highway “triangle” project. The detour route for through traffic will be Middlebelt Road to Northwestern Highway and back to 14 Mile and vice versa.

Middlebelt Road, between Northwestern Highway and 14 Mile Road

This project entails installation of a right turn lane on northbound Middlebelt Road near Hillel Day School. Middlebelt will remain open to two-way traffic but construction will require lane closures as well as flagging operations as necessary.
