During the project, which covers 3.4 miles of pavement between 14 Mile and Hayes roads, two lanes will be open in each direction during peak travel times.
Motorists beware, six months of road work on Groesbeck between 14 Mile and Hayes roads is scheduled to start this week. Crews will begin a $13.5 million resurfacing project on Monday, March 18, and the Michigan Department of Transportation predicts the orange barrels will stay out through October. Construction is due to take place in two stages, starting with southbound Groesbeck and finishing with the northbound side. Work will include drainage and utility upgrades, as preliminary signal work has already been completed. Because this is a highly-traveled stretch of highway, two lanes will be open in each direction of Groesbeck during peak travel times. However, multiple lane closures will be in effect during nights and weekends in order …
Drivers can find which routes to avoid across the state through the Michigan Department of Transportation website.
Before hitting the roads this weekend, local motorists can plan their best routes through a Michigan Department of Transportation interactive map. Mi Drive allows users to explore closures and construction across the state, including the Macomb County area, through its website. It also reflects live traffic incidents like accidents on major freeways like I-696 and I-94 in southeastern Michigan.

Cass Avenue between Groesbeck and Gratiot is now open in both directions after almost five months of construction.
With its smooth surface, interconnecting sidewalks and merciful lack of potholes, the newly reopened Cass Avenue is a thing of beauty. Under construction since July 5, Macomb County officials celebrated the project’s completion Monday, Nov. 19, as road crews removed the barrels and barricades blocking westbound traffic between Groesbeck and Gratiot. “We are happy that this necessary investment in the County’s infrastructure is now complete. Cass Avenue is an essential piece of Macomb’s transportation network,” said Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, in a prepared statement. “Keeping our infrastructure up to date is a high priority in Macomb County.” Applying for Federal Highway Association dollars in 2009, Macomb County Department of …
