County to repair concrete on 14 Mile, 18 Mile
In May, the Macomb County Department of Roads listed over 30 main and local road projects it had, countywide, to preserve asphalt and concrete pavement through maintenance and rehab.

“Performing preventative maintenance work on roads that are in good to fair condition is a strategic and cost-effective way to improve and extend the service life of our roadways,” said MCDR Director Bryan Santo in a statement. “Identifying and addressing minor issues before they turn into significant problems reduces the need for reconstruction work and the high costs associated with major projects.”

The list of projects includes concrete crack sealing for 18 Mile Road between Dequindre and Mound roads; 14 Mile Road between Dequindre to Ryan roads; and 14 Mile between Mound and Van Dyke Avenue. Road officials say those roads will still be open, with lane closures, during the work.
