Adams Road Bridge Over Clinton River to Close

Rochester Hills, MI — Adams Road Bridge over the Clinton River, just north of Hamlin Road, will be closed for construction from July through mid- to late-August, the Road Commission for Oakland County said.

The decision to close the road was made by RCOC after a routine maintenance check identified needed repairs to prolong the structural integrity of the bridge over the Clinton River.

“With over 23,000 drivers every day, it is imperative that we ensure that Adams Road is safe for our residents,” Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan K. Barnett said in a statement. “Our team in the Department of Public Services is working diligently with the Road Commission to minimize the impact this project has on daily commutes.”

The detour for the closure will be Hamlin Road to Crooks Road to Avon Road back to Adams Road and vice versa.

[RECIRC[RCOC will be placing the appropriate directional signage and electronic message boards two weeks prior to the construction.

Residents and commuters are asked to please respect the designated speed limits, be courteous of your neighbors, understanding neighboring streets will be shouldering an additional burden during this time.
