DEARBORN/DETROIT, Mich. - Beginning the week of July 28, two projects will begin on eastbound and westbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) between Greenfield Road and Cecil Avenue in Dearborn and Detroit with lane and intersection closures. In addition, westbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) will have the right lane closed at Lawndale Street beginning 5 a.m. Monday, July 28, while emergency crews fix a void under the road.
"Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to grow our economy, helping Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school and run errands safely," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes by a dime. This year, let's build on our momentum to pass a bipartisan local road funding plan so we can keep fixing our damn roads and creating good-paying, local jobs."
Dearborn
This work is part of a $4.5 million investment to resurface 1.7 miles of pavement, along with joint repairs, American with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps and pavement markings. Improvements will also be made at the US-12/Wyoming Avenue carpool lot.
Detroit
This maintenance work is part of a $1 million investment to resurface 1.4 miles of pavement, along with joint repairs, ADA ramps and pavement markings.
Based on economic modeling, this overall $5.5 million investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 52 jobs.
