Updated 10:30 a.m.

Rochester Hills, MI – On Monday, July 11, the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) will begin an closure and construction of the Adams Road Bridge.

The Adams Road Bridge will be closed to the public during construction with a completion date
around mid to late August, according to a news release.

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," Mayor Bryan K. Barnett said. "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."

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

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