(WWJ) There's another road closure Macomb County drivers will want to keep in mind for the next couple of weeks.
As part of the big Gratiot Ave. (M-3) rebuild project, the Michigan Department of Transportation has announced that eastbound Common Road will be closed at Gratiot to allow crews to rebuild the median of the intersection between northbound and southbound M-3.
Weather permitting, eastbound Common Road access to northbound M-3 will be closed from 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 11, to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23. Median sidewalks will also be closed.
Eastbound Common Road traffic will still be able to access southbound M-3.
Eastbound Common Road traffic heading for northbound M-3 will be directed to southbound M-3, then to the next available crossover to turn onto northbound M-3. Southbound M-3 traffic can access westbound Common Road. Pedestrians will be detoured to the median crosswalk at Bigelow Street.
This is the next step in larger Gratiot project that MDOT said will result in "a "smoother driving surface on Gratiot. Sidewalks will also be brought into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and new pedestrian signal heads will be installed before the work is complete.
MDOT said ride quality and safety will be improved for both motorists and pedestrians.
