New Roundabout Coming To Macomb County: What To Know

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, MI — Crews began working on a new roundabout in northern Macomb County this week, according to officials.

The new roundabout will replace the intersection at Campground Road and Van Dyke Avenue near 28 Mile Road, in Washington Township, where traffic usually gets backed up during rush hour, according to officials.

The intersection will be closed while under construction, but businesses and properties within the construction zone will have access through the work zone, according to officials.

Township officials said a detour will be posted for drivers, but they urged drivers to avoid the area and find a different route, such as Mound Road or Van Dyke Avenue.

Work is expected to be completed sometime in June of this year, according to officials.
