FARMINGTON HILLS — The city is launching a $33 million infrastructure overhaul this week, with more than a dozen road and watermain projects planned for the 2025 season, including major reconstruction of Halstead Road.
Aimed at improving streets, neighborhoods and underground systems, the projects are funded largely by the city’s road millage. They include $12.9 million for major roads, $14.1 million for local roads and $6.6 million for watermain improvements, the city said in a release.
Halsted Road reconstruction, the largest of the planned projects, will replace concrete pavement from W. Eight Mile Road to just south of W. Nine Mile Road.
The project is expected to begin in May and be completed in November.
During construction, a portion of Halsted Road will be closed to through traffic, with posted detours on Haggerty Road.
The work will affect approximately 14,000 vehicle trips per day and will be what the city calls a “critical enhancement to infrastructure.”
The release said the city will hold public information meetings for impacted community members before the start of construction for both local and major projects, with residents near projects receiving notification letters with details about the project and meeting information.
Local road projects for spring and summer 2025 include:
The city has created an online map that outlines all city-led projects, as well as projects from the Road Commission for Oakland County, including:
