Updated: 3/27/25
Start: May 1, 2025 (Tentative)
Current Status: Pending
Projected End: July 15, 2025(Tentative)
Project Jurisdiction: Wayne County
Description
The Wayne County Department of Public Services (WCDPS) will be completing the final stage (Stage 3) of construction on 8 Mile Road (Baseline) between Haggerty and Novi Roads which is the bridge rehabilitation and bridge deck replacement at the CSX/Lake State Railway. Stage 1 was the concrete rehabilitation from Haggerty Road to just west of Meadowbrook Road. Stage 2 was completed late last year, milling the existing concrete and placing new asphalt pavement over the top from just west of Meadowbrook Road to the CSX bridge.
Before construction can begin on Stage 3, utility companies must relocate their existing facilities around the bridge work.
Road Closures/Detours
Once work begins, 8 Mile Road over the CSX railroad tracks will be closed to ALL traffic for the duration of the project. The designated detour is 8 Mile Road to Haggerty Road to 6 Mile Road to Beck Road back to 8 Mile Road and vice versa.
