Orange cone season has begun and the Road Commission for Oakland County has nearly $60 million worth of road-construction projects scheduled for 2026.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s road improvements include resurfacing projects, construction of a roundabout, two bridge-replacement projects, culvert repair and replacement projects and a gravel-road paving project.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again this year, we\u2019re doing everything we can to spread our funding across as many roads as possible, with numerous safety, pavement-condition and bridge and culvert improvement projects,\u201d said RCOC Managing Director Dennis Kolar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be some inconvenience for motorists as we improve the roads, but that short-term pain will result in long-term improvements to the road system,\u201d he said. \u201cWe thank motorists, residents and businesses for their patience while we make these improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s projects include:<\/p>\n
Resurfacing of 12 Mile Road from Orchard Lake Road to Autumn Ridge in Farmington Hills.
Resurfacing of Greenfield Road from Lincoln Road to 12 Mile Road in Southfield, Berkley and Oak Park.
Replacement of the Deerhill Street bridge over Deer Lake Creek in Independence Township.
Construction of a roundabout at the Wixom Road\/Duck Lake Road\/Sleeth Road intersection on the Milford\u00a0 and Commerce township borders.
Preventative maintenance on\u00a0 14 Mile Road, Franklin Road and Inkster Road bridges over the Rouge River in Franklin, Bloomfield and West Bloomfield townships.<\/p>\n
