The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) will conduct an informational meeting Thursday, May 16, about the 2014 resurfacing of Avon Road from Adams Road to just west of Livernois Road.
The meeting will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Rochester Hills City Hall, 1000 Rochester Hills Drive (on the south side of Avon Road between Livernois and Old Perch roads). The meeting will be open house format – there will not be a formal presentation, but anyone interested can stop by at any time during the meeting to review information or speak with an RCOC representative.
The project will involve asphalt resurfacing of this section of Avon Road as well as the addition of several turn lanes to improve safety, reconstruction or replacement of traffic signals, pedestrian crosswalk upgrades and pathway enhancements. The crosswalk upgrades will involve reconstructing the crosswalks to comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
During the project, the road will be closed in two phases. The first phase will encompass the section from east of Crooks Road to Livernois Road.
Once the first phase is complete, the second phase will start. The second phase will run from Adams Road to Crooks Road. During both phases, the detour route for through traffic will be Adams to Hamlin to Livernois and vice versa.
The project is expected to start in spring 2014 and be completed in fall 2014.
