[ARCHIVED] RCOC WEEKLY ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND PERMIT PROJECTS UPDATE (MAY 24-31)

Mommy and daddy work here

         The following projects may cause traffic delays on Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) roads between May 24 and May 31 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.

       RCOC road construction projects will also be suspended at 3 p.m. Friday, May 26, for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.   Roads that are currently closed or partially for construction, such as Maple Road between Orchard Lake Road and Farmington Road (closed to eastbound traffic), will remain closed to traffic.  Work will resume after 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 30.
