Traffic Alert: Novi Road Closes Between 10 Mile, Grand River

NOVI (WWJ) - The contractor for the Road Commission for Oakland County is expected to close Novi Road between Grand River Avenue and 10 Mile Road in Novi during the weekends of May 7-8 and May 14-15.

The first closure (May 7-8) is needed so a 60-inch storm sewer can be installed under the road to serve the Monro Creek just south of the railroad tracks.

The second closure (May 14-15) is needed so that several water lines can be installed under the road to service new fire hydrants.

The work is part of the ongoing widening and reconstruction of Novi Road. The road is being widened to five lanes and a bridge constructed over the CSX Railroad tracks.

During the closures, access will be maintained to all businesses along this section of Novi Road, though the access will be either from the north (for businesses north of the closures) or from the south (for businesses south of the closures).

The detour route for through traffic during the closures will be 10 Mile Road to Meadowbrook Road to Grand River and back to Novi Road and vice versa.

For the latest from the roads, stay with WWJ Newsradio 950 during Traffic and Weather on the 8s, 24-hours a day. Check for recent incidents now by visiting our Traffic Page.
