RCOC ROAD CONSTRUCTION SUSPENDED DURING MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND

 Beverly Hills, Mich. — Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) Managing Director Dennis Kolar has announced that most RCOC road construction projects will be suspended at 3 p.m. Friday, May 22, for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Work will resume after 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26.

“The Road Commission wants to ensure that its roads are as free of obstructions as possible during this period because of the increased traffic we typically see on a holiday,” Kolar stated. “That should help to ensure safe and convenient holiday travel for motorists in Oakland County.”

Kolar also prohibited the hauling of most heavy earth-moving equipment and other large contractor equipment on county roads (vehicles that require a permit to travel on county roads) during the holiday. Some lane closures will be eliminated for the holiday. 

Maple Road at Middlebelt Road in West Bloomfield Township remains closed to through traffic until late June and Maybee and Waldon roads remain closed at the west side of Baldwin Road in Orion Township until July.
