The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) will close 12 Mile Road between Martindale Road and Milford Road in Lyon Township from Wednesday, Sept. 10, through mid-November to replace the 12 Mile Road bridge over the Novi-Lyon Drain.
During the closure, access to homes within this section of 12 Mile Road will be maintained east and west of the closure. The detour route for through traffic is 12 Mile Road to Martindale Road to 11 Mile Road to Pontiac Trail to New Hudson Drive to Milford Road, back to 12 Mile Road and vice versa.
The bridge replacement cost is combined with two other nearby bridge replacement projects in Lyon Township on Spaulding and Martindale roads for a total cost of $4.1 million, with most of the funding provided by the Michigan Local Bridge Program.
Dan’s Excavating of Shelby Township is the contractor for the three bridges. This section of 12 Mile Road carries approximately 230 vehicles daily.
