Start: Week of July 21, 2025 (weather permitting)
Current Status: Pending
End: Winter 2025
Road Jurisdiction: City of Novi
Progress:
7/24/25: The contractor started work this week with traffic control and plans to begin work on Stage 3 by removing some pavement areas where existing storm sewer culverts need replacing.
7/17/25: The start date has changed to the week of July 21, 2025. All signage and message boards have been amended to reflect the date change.
7/7/25: Performing the pulverization during the driest months is best, so the contractor will begin with Stage 3, the northbound lane of West Park Drive from West Road to Pontiac Trail, the week of July 14, 2025. The northbound lane of West Park Drive from West Road to Pontiac Trail will be closed. The southbound lane will be maintained for through traffic. The northbound detour will be west on West Road, north on Beck Road, east on Pontiac Trail, and back to West Park Drive (see detour map below).
Description:
The City will be rehabilitating West Park Drive from 12 Mile Road to Pontiac Trail. Improvements include updating several existing intersecting streets, additional safety features, ADA sidewalk upgrades, and improved grading & drainage throughout.
The project is split into four stages. First, the contractor will work on the northbound lanes of West Park Drive from West Road to Pontiac Trail, followed by the southbound lanes. This segment will include the improvements listed above, as well as pulverizing and repaving the asphalt.
After the first lift of asphalt is placed on the segment from West Road to Pontiac Trail, the contractor will begin rehabilitation of the existing pavement between 12 Mile Road and West Road via an asphalt mill and overlay for the segment. They will start with the northbound lanes, then move to the southbound lanes.
There will be several traffic shifts and subsequent detours on West Park Drive during this project. Traffic flow on West Park Drive will be southbound only starting July 14. Northbound West Park Drive will be closed.
For a longer-lasting and consistent product, each stage will have only the first lift of new asphalt placed. Then, the contractor will return to place the final lift of asphalt on all completed sections from 12 Mile Road to Pontiac Trail all at once.
