Cone Zone - Road Construction Updates

This is a MCDR project for asphalt resurfacing from 18 1/2 Mile Road to Clinton River.

Van Dyke Avenue Resurfacing from 18-1/2 Mile Road to the Bridge over the Clinton River began in July. The contractor is Florence Cement Company.  The project is expected to last into November.  The project will begin moving traffic out of the outside lanes and those will be constructed first.  One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction throughout construction, but turning movements will be limited at times during construction.  Access to parcels fronting Van Dyke Avenue will be maintained at all times. 

Beginning Wednesday, October 17 traffic will be moved to the outside (curb) lanes and construction on the inside lanes will commence.  Expect delays and restricted turning movements.

The project will be similar in nature to the Van Dyke Avenue work recently completed from the bridge over Clinton River to M59.  The project is a Macomb County Department of Roads project.  (586) 463-8671
