8/6/14 - A meeting this month will give residents a chance to hear about the upcoming improvements to US-23 from the Michigan Department of Transportation. The meeting will be held at the Northfield Township Hall located in Whitmore Lake from 4:00 to 6:30pm on Thursday, August 14th. MDOT is planning major upgrades to US-23 from Silver Lake Road in Green Oak south to M-14. These changes will include improvements to the surface, shoulders, medians, bridges, and entrance and exit ramps for the highway. The department is also considering an active traffic management system south of M-36, which would improve the flow of traffic during peak hours and theoretically reduce rush hour congestion. MDOT staff will be present at the meeting to explain the improvements and provide visual aids to demonstrate how the work will be done. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2016. (JK)
