March 23, 2012

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) expects to begin work on the resurfacing of Grand River Avenue from just east of Novi Road to Haggerty Road in Novi this Monday, March 26, weather permitting.

Work had previously been expected to start last Monday, March 19, but the start was delayed by a week.

Once work begins, the road will remain open in both directions throughout the project, but motorists should expect delays, especially during rush hours.

The project includes base repair and the application of four inches of new asphalt to the road. Safety improvements are also part of the project, including the addition or extension of right-turn lanes at several location, the addition of three-foot paved shoulders and the reconstruction of pedestrian crosswalks to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Concrete curbs and gutters will be added where needed to ensure proper drainage.

The work is expected to be completed by mid-September. The work will be performed by Cadillac Asphalt of Clarkston.

The total project cost is expected to be approximately $4.1 million. Of that, just over $3.3 million is being paid for with federal funds. RCOC is contributing $464,000, while the city is adding $272,000 and Oakland County General Government (through the Tri-Party Program) is putting in $64,000.
