September 17, 2009 -- Crews will begin mobilizing Tuesday, Sept. 22, on the reconstruction of M-39 (Southfield Road) between Porter and Pinecrest streets in the cities of Lincoln Park and Allen Park, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). This $16.5 million investment includes rebuilding the concrete pavement and barriers and utility upgrades on the 1.75-mile stretch.
In order to lessen the impact to commuters, residents and business owners, two lanes will be maintained on northbound and southbound M-39 during peak travel periods. Work will begin this fall and continue through the winter months on storm sewer replacement work. All lanes of M-39 are expected to open to traffic in November 2010.
During construction, access to businesses on the corridor will be maintained at all times. Safety improvements on the project include eliminating the direct left turn from northbound M-39 to southbound Dix Road. After construction, this turning movement will be replaced by a Michigan Left, utilizing the median turnaround just north of the Dix intersection.
