The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), in partnership with Lyon Township, has closed 11 Mile Road from Milford Road to South Hill Road until October 25 to replace the culvert traversing the Novi-Lyon Drain.
Residential access is 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.
- Construction of new headwalls and wing walls.
- Placement of new guardrail and signs.
The project contractor is Toebe Construction LLC of Wixom. This section of 11 Mile Road carries approximately 400 vehicles daily.
