The deadline for construction has been extended for Brown Road, between Lapeer Road and east of the Giddings Road\u2019s west leg at the border between Orion Township and Auburn Hills.<\/p>\n
Weather permitting, paving originally planned to be completed by mid-November will be finished by the end of the month. Work on the non-motorized pathway will continue into next year, according to a road commission spokeswoman.<\/p>\n
The $8 million project is funded by a state grant awarded to Orion Township and will pay for safety enhancements and non-motorized pathways installation. The work will be done on the Auburn Hills and Orion Township border. Orion Township is working with the county road commission on this project.<\/p>\n
The project includes:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Replacing existing concrete pavement on Brown Road with asphalt.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Building non-motorized pathways along parts of Brown Road, Giddings Road, Silver Bell roads.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Installing a new traffic signal at the Brown-and the south Giddings Road intersection for the new General Motors plant gate.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Adding center turn lanes on Brown Road near Glenmeade Lane and GM\u2019s Gate 8.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Adding Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant pedestrian crosswalks near the FedEx facility, at Brown Road and the west leg of Giddings Road intersection.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 New pavement markings and new traffic signs.<\/p>\n
