Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) Managing Director Dennis Kolar announced in a press release that most RCOC road construction projects will be suspended at 3 p.m. Friday, May 23, for the Memorial Day holiday.
Work will resume after 6 a.m., Tuesday, May 27.
“The Road Commission wants to ensure that its roads are as free of obstructions as possible during this period because of the increased holiday traffic we typically see on the Memorial Day holiday,” Kolar stated. “That should help to ensure safe and convenient holiday travel for motorists in Oakland County.”
Kolar also prohibited the hauling of most heavy earth-moving equipment and other large contractor equipment on county roads (vehicles that require a permit to travel on county roads) during the holiday. Some lane closures will be eliminated for the holiday.
