Road Commission for Oakland County Construction Update Road to 2023 image

The following projects may cause traffic delays on Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) roads between August 14 and August 18 or may start shortly thereafter.

Please note: This information is subject to change. Projects can change from day to day, and traffic delays can develop in a matter of minutes due to weather, emergency situations, etc.

The project list is attached.
