[ARCHIVED] RCOC WEEKLY ROAD CONSTRUCTION & PERMIT PROJECTS UPDATE (5/24-5/31)

hellosummer

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.

RCOC road construction projects will be suspended at 3 p.m. Friday, May 25, for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

            Work will resume after 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 29.

            During the holiday weekend, roads that are currently closed or partially for construction, such as Maple Road between Drake and Halsted roads (closed to eastbound traffic) and Napier Road between 9 Mile and 10 Mile roads, will remain closed to traffic.

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.                                        

Additional information about current and upcoming projects can also be viewed on the RCOC website:   2018 RCOC ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS (http://www.rcocweb.org/189/Road-Projects).
