Dequindre Road Closure In Macomb County: What To Know

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Part of Dequindre Road along the Rochester Hills and Shelby Township border is closing down next Monday for roughly a year, according to road officials.

Dequindre Road between 23 Mile and 24 Mile roads will close staring Monday through next fall, according to road officials.

The road closure is due to the ongoing project to relocate a 96-inch water transmission main so that it is out of residential and business yards, according to road officials.

During the closure, the detour route will be 23 Mile Road to Shelby Road, north to 24 Mile Road, west to Dequindre Road, and vice versa, according to road officials.

Meanwhile, Dequindre Road between Avon and Hamlin roads will reopen Friday, roughly two-months ahead of schedule, according to road officials.

The 96-inch water transmission main relocation project will enhance resiliency of the water transmission system that serves multiple communities throughout Oakland, Macomb and Lapeer Counties, officials said.

In addition, the project will improve access for operations and maintenance and improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety at critical intersections. There is no planned disruption to water services to GLWA’s member partner communities during this time.
