Residents and commuters in Sterling Heights should expect some disruptions as a major road construction project is scheduled to start on March 24 and run through May 9. The Department of Public Works has enlisted Insituform Technologies USA to complete a sanitary rehabilitation project at the intersection of 17 Mile Road and Dodge Park, according to the city'announcement.
During this period, alterations to the traffic patterns will be necessary. The eastbound right lane of 17 Mile Road is going to be closed from Dodge Park Road to the east starting March 24. Furthermore, expect to see the full closure of Sorrento Boulevard at Dodge Park Road come March 31, which will last until the project's completion in May. Pedestrians will have clearly marked detour routes to help them navigate around the construction, with signage in place to guide them to alternate pathways.
Drivers and pedestrians in the area are advised to plan ahead. The city recommends allowing extra time for travel, following the designated detour routes, and exercising caution when moving through or around the work zones. These measures are intended to ensure the safety of both the community and the construction workers.
The Department of Public Works (DPW) notes that while disruptions may occur, the work is necessary for maintaining the city's sanitary systems. As the project progresses, residents are encouraged to check the city’s website and social media channels for updates or changes to the construction schedule and traffic patterns.
