4/24/13 - A portion of Maple Road in Milford Township remains closed to traffic while work continues to replace a failed drainage culvert under the road. The Road Commission for Oakland County expects to keep Maple Road closed overnight, just east of Childs Lake Road. It was closed Tuesday when a section washed out after a drainage pipe under the road collapsed. The road commission says it has been working to replace the pipe since then, but efforts have been slowed by the amount of water present and the work is taking longer than originally planned. Officials say the current expectation is that the road will re-open to traffic sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, the established detour route is Wixom Road to Pontiac Trail to Old Plank Road and then back to Maple, and vice versa. (JM)
