WIXOM/DUCK LAKE/SLEETH INTERSECTION ON THE COMMERCE TWP./MILFORD TWP. BORDER TO CLOSE JUNE 12 FOR ROUNDABOUT CONSTRUCTION
The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), in partnership with Commerce Township and Milford Township, will close the Wixom Road/Wixom Trail/Sleeth Road/Duck Lake Road intersection on the border of the two communities starting Friday, June 12, to begin construction on RCOC’s 45th roundabout.
Roundabouts remain a key way that RCOC is reducing the number of traffic fatalities on its roads. RCOC has the largest concentration of roundabouts of any county in Michigan.
The approximately $2.2 million project will be funded by RCOC.
The detour route for the intersection during construction will be Glengary Road to Benstein Road to Sleeth Road to North Commerce Road to East Commerce Road and vice versa.
The work includes:
• Conversion of the existing two signalized intersections into a single, modern roundabout.
• Reconstruction of approximately 0.4 miles of road with asphalt paving and new curbs and gutters.
• Installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant pedestrian crosswalk on the east leg of the roundabout.
• Improvements to storm sewers and drainage.
• Installation of intersection lighting.
The contractor for the project is Angelo Iafrate Construction of Warren. The project is expected to be completed by late summer.
This intersection carries approximately 12,000 vehicles daily.
