Consumers Energy is expected to close the western Walnut Lake Road approach to Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield Township on Saturday, Sept. 6, for one day to continue gas utility repairs following a leak in early August. The closure will include Walnut Lake Road from Orchard Lake Road to just east of Green Lake Road.
The closure will start at 8 a.m. and is expected to reopen at approximately 4 p.m.
During the closure, Orchard Lake Road traffic will not be able to turn onto westbound Walnut Lake Road and eastbound Walnut Lake Road traffic will not be able to turn onto Orchard Lake or proceed through the intersection. The intersection will remain open for north/south traffic and for Walnut Lake Road traffic east of Orchard Lake Road.
The traffic detour is Walnut Lake Road to Green Road to Orchard Lake Road, back to Walnut Lake Road, and vice versa.
