South Lyon residents, mark your calendars! On Monday, September 30, starting at approximately 8 a.m., the Road Commission for Oakland County is set to close a crucial section of Lafayette Street/Pontiac Trail. The closure will take place between 10 Mile Road and 11 Mile Road to facilitate the replacement of a culvert located beneath the road.
The construction will occur just north of Maple Drive. The good news is that this necessary repair is expected to wrap up within a day, meaning motorists can expect the street to reopen on the same day! That’s right, the road should be back to normal by later that evening.
During this brief closure, access to homes, businesses, and South Lyon High School will remain open for those traveling north and south of the affected area. So, if you live or work nearby, you won’t be cut off from your daily routes!
For those planning to pass through the area, be sure to use the designated detour to avoid any inconveniences. The recommended route is to take 10 Mile Road to Martindale Road, then head to 11 Mile Road, which will guide you back to Lafayette Street/Pontiac Trail. This detour will ensure that traffic flows smoothly, keeping everything moving while the work is being completed.
But that’s not all! This culvert replacement is part of a larger effort to improve the area. A short-term resurfacing project is also planned for Lafayette Street/Pontiac Trail, stretching from the railroad tracks just north of 10 Mile Road all the way to Silver Lake Road. While the specific dates for this paving work have yet to be announced, residents can rest assured that plans are in place to enhance the road for everyone’s safety and comfort.
Currently, this segment of Lafayette Street/Pontiac Trail sees about 13,570 vehicles daily. It’s crucial that these types of repairs and improvements are conducted to maintain safe roads for all users, whether you’re a driver, cyclist, or pedestrian.
The Road Commission is committed to keeping the community informed every step of the way. So, if you want to stay updated on this project or find additional information, be sure to keep an eye on community bulletins and local announcements.
In summary, while the temporary closure might be a slight inconvenience for some, it’s all part of a larger initiative to ensure that the roads in South Lyon stay in top shape. With some planning and a little patience, everyone can navigate around the construction smoothly.
So, stay safe out there, South Lyon! And remember to plan your routes accordingly on September 30.
