Description
The City of Novi’s contractor will reconstruct 13 Mile Rd., between Meadowbrook Rd. and M-5. This project is the final stage of the reconstruction of 13 Mile Rd. following the GLWA 54-inch Water Main installation between 14 Mile and 8 Mile roads. (For more information on that project, please visit cityofnovi.org/BetterRoadsAhead/GLWA-54-inch-water-main-loop/)
13 Mile Road traffic between Meadowbrook Rd. and M-5 will currently be eastbound only for the project's duration.
All Brightmoor Christian Church, Lenox Park, Fox Run, Walled Lake Early Childhood Center, and residential traffic between Meadowbrook Rd and M-5 will need to enter from the west (Novi Rd.) during this time.
Lane Closures
North Side of 13 Mile Rd.
The first stage of work will be on the north half of the road, the south half will remain open to eastbound traffic.
The work on the north half of the road will remove the full depth of existing asphalt and place a new asphalt roadway. North-side work will also include the removal and replacement of the first 8’ of the driveway to Fox Run and the first 10’ of the auxiliary service drive to the Fox Run.
South Side of 13 Mile Rd.
The second stage of the work will flip traffic to the north side of the road while work is performed on the south half, but traffic will remain eastbound only.
The work on the south half of the road will remove the existing temporary wedge of asphalt from the center of the road to the middle of the eastbound through lane followed by a new layer of asphalt across the entirety of the road. Along with the south half will be the reconstruction of the western driveway approach to Walled Lake Early Childhood Center, reconstruction of the driveway approaches to 41325 and 41295 13 Mile Rd, and some pathway work as well.
Progress
Reconstruction work has begun on 13 Mile Road, and the westbound lane is closed between Meadowbrook Road and M-5. Traffic will be eastbound only for the duration of the project and flaggers will be on-site to help manage traffic while construction workers are present. 13 Mile Road is a City of Novi project and will be completed before school starts at the end of August.
Detour
The westbound 13 Mile Rd. detour will be M-5 to 14 Mile Rd. to Novi Rd. to 13 Mile Rd.
Traffic Control
The Contractor is required to always have at a minimum one flagger on-site that they are on-site to help direct traffic at Fox Run, they will also be on-site on Sundays to help direct traffic for Brightmoor Church.
