The gravel on Pontiac Lake Road between M-59 and Teggerdine Road in White Lake Township fdwill be replaced with pavement over the next two years. The county road commission will host a Feb. 12 meeting to share details.<\/p>\n
This section of Pontiac Lake Road carries approximately 2,400 vehicles daily. This $5.8 million project will be paid for with a combination of federal, road commission, township and county funds.<\/p>\n
The open house is an informal session that people can drop into to see the plans and question county road commission officials.<\/p>\n
The project will proceed as weather permits. Plans for 2026 include utility relocation, tree removal and earthwork with construction scheduled to start and be completed in 2027.<\/p>\n
The 2027 construction includes:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Paving the gravel section of Pontiac Lake Road between Margie Drive and Arlington Street.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Installing curbs and gutters as needed.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Adding a roundabout at the Pontiac Lake-Fisk roads\u2019 intersection, which will be the county\u2019s 46th roundabout.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Improving shoulders and drainage.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Re-aligning the road to improve safety.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Stabilizing the soil under the road.<\/p>\n
Pontiac Lake Road will be closed to traffic between M-59 and Teggerdine Road during construction. Residents and business owners will have access to their properties throughout construction but drivers will not be able to travel completely through the construction area.<\/p>\n
The detour will be Teggerdine Road to M-59, back to Pontiac Lake Road and vice versa.<\/p>\n
