The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) expects to close Haggerty Road, from 13 Mile Road to 14 Mile Road, on the border of Farmington Hills and Novi, from Tuesday, Sept. 2, through late September to remove and replace a culvert that carries the Seeley Drain under the road.
During the closure, access to homes and businesses on the road will be maintained, though the road will be completely closed at the culvert, located just north of Lancaster Drive. The through traffic detour is 12 Mile Road to M-5 to 14 Mile Road, back to Haggerty Road and vice versa (the City of Novi has closed 13 Mile Road from Haggerty Road to M-5 for a paving project until approximately late September).
The approximately $975,000 project is paid for by RCOC and includes:
- Removal of the existing 60-year-old metal culvert.
- Replacing it with a larger, aluminum-coated corrugated pipe.
- Milling (grinding off) the existing asphalt and repaving the road section south of Lancaster Drive to the new culvert.
- Restoring the grass around the project and placing riprap (stone) at all locations of exposed earth to prevent erosion.
The contractor for the project is DiPonio Contracting of Shelby Township. This section of Haggerty Road carries approximately 15,600 vehicles daily.
