The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), in partnership with Lyon Township, is allowing Pulte Homes, a private developer, to close Martindale Road from Grand River Avenue to Pontiac Trail in Lyon Township to through traffic from Monday, Aug. 12, through mid-October.
The closure is necessary for the contractor to pave a section of the gravel portion of Martindale Road from south of Montego Drive to the north of Trelawny Drive in conjunction with a new development.
Access to homes within the closed section of Martindale Road will be maintained throughout construction.
The detour for through traffic during the closure of Martindale Road is Grand River Avenue to New Hudson Drive to Pontiac Trail, back to Martindale Road, and vice versa.
This section of Martindale Road carries approximately 800 vehicles daily.
