PROJECT DETAILS:

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has invested $33 million to rebuild and resurface M-24 (Lapeer Road) in Oakland County.

 

The remaining work includes tree plantings, irrigation, decorative streetscaping fixtures, bridge epoxy overlay, punch list work, permanent pavement markings, and paving of Drahner Road, Oxford Lake Drive, Glaspie Street, North Oxford Road, and Ray Road. Work is expected to be complete in early June.

 

Stay informed about this project at www.RestoreM24.info; e-mail updates can be requested at the website.

 

SAFETY BENEFIT:

Extending the center left-turn lanes, improving the pavement surface, adjusting lane widths, and consolidating driveways will increase motorist safety by reducing the number of potential crash points in this area.
