The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), in partnership with Lyon Township, will close 11 Mile Road, from Milford Road to South Hill Road, from July 15 to approximately Oct. 8, to replace the culvert that traverses the Novi-Lyon Drain.
During the work, residential access will be maintained east and west of the culvert work. The detour for through traffic is Milford Road to 12 Mile Road to South Hill Road, back to 11 Mile Road, and vice versa.
The approximately $1.9 million project is paid for primarily with federal road funding and matching dollars from RCOC and Lyon Township.
The project includes:
- Removal of existing twin culverts under Eleven Mile Road that carry the Novi-Lyon Drain.
- Replacement of the culverts with a precast concrete box culvert.
- Improvements to sanitary sewer.
- Placement of asphalt paving in the vicinity of the culvert.
- Construction of new headwalls and wing walls.
- Placement of new guardrail and signs.
The contractor for the project is Toebe Construction LLC of Wixom. This section of 11 Mile Road carries approximately 400 vehicles daily.
