Look for a Weekend Detour at Middlebelt and Grand River

The Oakland County Water Resources Commission (WRC) is planning to repair a stretch of sewer under Middlebelt Rd. at the intersection with Grand River Ave. in Farmington Hills. 

The work is expected to start at approximately 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 27 and be completed by 6 a.m. on Monday, March 28.

The work will involve accessing the sewer through a manhole located in the middle of the Grand River/Middlebelt intersection. Traffic on Grand River will not be affected, but northbound and southbound traffic on Middlebelt will be unable to travel through the intersection.

Motorists traveling southbound on Middlebelt will have to turn right, head west to the second turnaround on Grand River, make a U-turn and head eastbound on Grand River, then turn right and return to southbound Middlebelt.  Northbound Middlebelt traffic will have to do a similar turnaround in the opposite direction.
