RCOC TO HOST PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING OCT. 22 FOR
2020-2022 CURRIE RD PAVING PROJECT IN LYON TOWNSIP
Beverly Hills, MI – The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) will host a public information meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the planned 2020-22 paving of Currie Road from 8 Mile Road to 10 Mile Road in Lyon Township.
The meeting will take place at Lyon Township offices, 58000 Grand River Avenue, New Hudson. The meeting will be open-house format -- there will be no formal presentations. RCOC staff will be present to answer questions and review the project plans throughout the public meeting.
The project will be split into two phases and is expected to begin in the fall of 2020 and be completed in the late fall of 2022.
Phase one will start with tree removal on Currie Road from 9 Mile to10 Mile Road in the fall of 2020. This section of road is also expected to close to through traffic in the spring of 2021 for construction.
Phase two construction from 8 Mile to 9 Mile Road is expected to start in the spring of 2022.
During both construction phases, access to properties will be maintained along Currie Road.
The approximately $5.5 million project is mostly federally funded with the remaining portion shared by RCOC, Lyon Township and Oakland County general government (through the Tri-Party Program). Washtenaw County will contribute funding for the Currie/8 Mile Road roundabout that will be constructed during phase two.
The project includes:
Paving this two-mile section of gravel road with asphalt
Concrete curbs and gutters
Improvements to the 10 Mile/Currie Road intersection (phase one)
Construction of a compact roundabout at 9 Mile/Currie Road (phase two)
Construction of a single lane roundabout at 8 Mile/Currie Road (phase two)
Improved drainage
