ROYAL OAK, MI — Road work near Royal Oak’s new downtown parking structure will start Monday and continue through Nov. 15, according to city officials. Traffic will be impacted at the Center Street parking deck as well as traffic on Center Street, Second Street and Washington Avenue.

All of the work is weather dependent. The largest impacts will be felt Nov. 13-15, Royal Oak officials said in a news release:

• On Tuesday, Nov. 14, there will be no parking and no access/egress to the existing Center Street parking structure from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• From Nov. 13- 15, the Post Office will have public access by sidewalk only.

Here’s a look at the daily schedule for the project:
