All concrete work associated with the roadway is now complete and achieved all the required strength tests. Cranbrooke Drive has been fully reopened to normal traffic operations. Restoration will be the key focus for the overall project for the next couple weeks, fixing irrigation issues and restoring the greenbelt areas with new topsoil, seed and mulch.

14 Mile Road Pavement Preservation Overlay (East Lake Drive to Haggerty Road)
Prime Contractor: Not Yet Awarded
Start: June 15, 2021
End: November 1, 2021
Due to increased construction for the water main this past year, 14 Mile may be in worse condition than a preservation overlay can handle. We are waiting to get confirmation from the RCOC for the correct fix. Therefore, 14 Mile Road may be pulled from this contract.
Description:
Preservation overlays that the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) will be doing are also known as "simple resurfacing", which consists ot placing 2 to 2.5 inches of asphalt on the existing surface of the road. Some other minor work may include shoulder gravel restoration, raising existing structures to grade, and placement of temporary and permanent pavement markings and symbols.
Traffic Control/Detours:
There are no detours necessary for this work. Traffic flow during construction will be under flag control. Local motorists may encounter some delays for trucks and equipment entering or leaving the work zone. Longer delays are expected at intersections.
Work Status:
Once a contractor is selected, the contractor and RCOC will determine a schedule and order for the overall program. There are nearly 20 major road segments included in this years program. For an updated status for the Pavement Preservation Overlay Program, please visit the attached link above. The 14 Mile Road preservation overlay may have to wait until the current Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) water main project is complete which may not be until late spring of 2022. Another Novi roadway on the list for 2021 is Napier Road, between 11 and 12 Mile Roads, which has been completed.

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Projects
I- 96 Freeway Flex Route (Kent Lake Road to I-275/I-696/M-5 Interchange)
Prime Contractor: Not Yet Awarded
Start: September 15, 2021
End: October 1, 2022
Description:
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will have a contractor under contract to construct a 'Flex Route' lane using the existing median shoulder, on-ramp metering, and variable speed advisories/travel information message boards within the project limits. The median shoulders will be reconstructed to be used as an additional lane during peak travel periods, special events, maintenance activities, and incidents/crashes. The ramp meters or ramp signals will consist of a two-section signal light (red and green only, no yellow) together with a signal controller, that will regulate the flow of traffic entering the freeway. This system is very similar to the US-23 flex route installed outside Ann Arbor.

Description: This program is being used to help extend the life of your road way. The process starts with a blower using compressed air to clean debris from the pothole and surrounding cracks. Second, the area is tacked with a hot asphalt emulsion to provide adhesion to the existing pavement. Third, the pothole is filled with a combination of the aggregate mix and the hot asphalt emulsion. Finally, a dry coat is applied and compacted with a roller for the completion. Note: This process will leave behind excess stone. The vast majority of excess stone will be swept up within a few days after application.
