The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) has closed the north half of the 12 Mile Road/Inkster Road intersection on the Farmington Hills/Southfield border until approximately mid-July for reconstruction.
The work is part of the ongoing 12 Mile Road resurfacing and safety enhancement project, from Inkster Road to Autumn Ridge (just east of Middlebelt), that started on April 14. Eastbound 12 Mile Road remains closed to traffic from Middlebelt Road to Inkster Road as part of the ongoing project.
The detour for southbound Inkster Road traffic is westbound 13 Mile Road to Middlebelt Road to 11 Mile Road, back to Inkster Road.
The detour for northbound Inkster Road traffic is Inkster Road to 12 Mile Road to Middlebelt Road to 13 Mile Road, back to Inkster Road.
Westbound 12 Mile Road from Inkster Road to Middlebelt Road remains open to traffic; however, westbound traffic coming from east of Inkster Road cannot turn right (north) onto Inkster Road during the intersection closure. Additionally, traffic on Inkster Road, north of the intersection, cannot access 12 Mile Road.
Northbound Inkster Road traffic can turn onto eastbound or westbound 12 Mile Road during the work.
The contractor will close the south half of the intersection once the north half opens in mid-July.
The 12 Mile Road/Inkster Road intersection carries approximately 26,000 vehicles daily.
The entire project is expected to be completed in early October. The contractor for this project is M.L. Chartier of Fair Haven.
