9-Mile Road Lane Shift in Beulah is Coming Monday

This coming Monday morning, the traffic on 9-Mile Road in Beulah will shift as depicted above....

Beginning this Monday, the switch to the south side of the recently painted and striped 9-Mile Road section from Leisure Lakes to just before the 11-Mile Creek Bridge will occur.

This change will allow crews to begin repaving and re striping work on the currently-utilized north half of what will eventually be the 2 westbound lanes of 9-Mile Road.

In speaking with NFCU leadership, this change may represent a significant challenge as the deceleration lane leading into the campus will no longer be accessible under this temporary configuration--which may have the effect of backing traffic up further to the east on 9-Mile road than what is currently happening.  So although this shift is temporary--it will exacerbate the existing traffic bottleneck in this area, particularly during morning and evening rush hour.

I want constituents to be aware of this change so that they can make alternative route decisions if they so choose.  This shift is scheduled for THIS COMING MONDAY NIGHT--August 26th.

The latest information I have heard is that the 4-lanes will be complete between exit 5 and the NFCU campus main entrance by this November, and 4 complete lanes all the way to Beulah Road by March of next year.
