The following projects may cause traffic delays on
Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) roads between November 23 and December
7 or may start shortly thereafter.
It is RCOC’s goal to conduct road improvement projects
in a way that interferes with traffic as little as possible. This list includes
both Road Commission projects and projects conducted by others, under permit,
on roads under the jurisdiction of the Road Commission.
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.
