Closure at 12 Mile and Stephenson Today and Tomorrow Due to Water Main Break
(Crystal A. Proxmire, Jan. 29, 2014)
The Oakland County Road Commission has issued the following alert for travelers in the 12 Mile and Stephenson Hwy. area, also affecting those exiting southbound I-75:
The City of Madison Heights is expected to open by 4:30 p.m. today the lane of westbound 12 Mile Road between I-75 and Stevenson Highway that has been closed today. At that time, southbound I-75 traffic exiting at 12 Mile will be able to resume turning onto eastbound 12 Mile.
The lane had been closed and left turn from the southbound I-75 exit ramp had been prohibited from about 9 a.m. today while the city repaired a water main under the road.
However, the lane closure and left-turn prohibition will again be in effect tomorrow (Thursday, Jan. 30) from approximately 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while the city restores the concrete road surface over the water main repair. A temporary patch was put in place to open the road for rush hour this evening.
During the lane closure, traffic will continue to be able to use both east- and westbound 12 Mile, but motorists should expect delays.
