[ARCHIVED] RCOC WEEKLY ROAD CONSTRUCTION & PERMIT PROJECTS UPDATE (8/31-9/7)

road_closed

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

RCOC road construction projects will be suspended at 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, for the Labor Day holiday weekend.    Roads that are currently closed for construction, such as the Opdyke Road just north of Auburn Road and Wixom Road over the Huron River the 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.
