The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) expects to close the 12 Mile Road approaches to Southfield Road in Lathrup Village for paving on June 8-9 and June 15-16. The paving work is weather-dependent, and the schedule could change. The work is part of the ongoing resurfacing of Southfield Road, 11 Mile Road to 12 Mile Road that began in late April.
Access to businesses on both 12 Mile and Southfield roads will be maintained during the closures of the 12 Mile Road approaches to Southfield Road.
Northbound and southbound traffic will be maintained on Southfield Road during the work; however, during the weekend work, Southfield Road traffic will be unable to turn onto 12 Mile Road.
The traffic detour routes are:
- 12 Mile Road traffic: Evergreen Road to 13 Mile Road to Greenfield Road, back to 12 Mile Road, and vice versa.
- Southfield Road traffic wishing to travel east on 12 Mile Road: Southfield Road to 13 Mile Road to Greenfield Road to 12 Mile Road.
- Southfield Road traffic wishing to travel west on 12 Mile Road: Southfield Road to 13 Mile Road to Evergreen Road to 12 Mile Road.
The Southfield Road project is expected to be completed in early July, with pedestrian crosswalk work continuing into early 2025.
12 Mile Road at Southfield Road carries approximately 19,000 vehicles daily. The work is being done during the weekends to minimize traffic impacts.
