Hey commuters. Just when you think traffic will get worse when school starts (more kids driving and more buses on the road), things will be even more worse.
Lucky you.
Work to widen the intersection of Clarkston and Sashabaw roads is set to begin about Sept. 4, reports the Road Commission for Oakland County.
Workers will add a center left-turn and right-turn lanes in all directions and reduce a hill north of Sashabaw, subject to right-of-way acquisition.
No road closure is planned. Work will continue through November, stop for winter, then resume in spring. It should be complete next summer.
Estimated cost is $2.5 million.
