PROJECT DETAILS:

The Michigan   Department of Transportation (MDOT) will invest $3.4 million   to mill and resurface 2.3 miles of M-1 (Woodward Avenue) between 14 Mile Road   and Quarton Road/Big Beaver Road.

 

The project   includes pavement conditioning, replacing asphalt, repairing curbs and   gutters, upgrading sidewalk ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act   (ADA) standards, modernizing the traffic signal at Oak Avenue (including   pedestrian signals), drainage structure repairs, and pavement markings.

 

Safety will be improved   for drivers and pedestrians with a smoother riding surface and improved   drainage, plus the addition of ADA sidewalks and push buttons at   intersections.

TRAFFIC DETAILS:

During the   daytime, one lane will be closed in each direction for work on sidewalks,   curbs, and ramps. There will be limited closures of crossovers to complete   the work.

 

Nighttime and   weekend work will involve closing multiple lanes for the majority of the   milling and resurfacing work.
