Bloomfield Township drivers who use the Bradway and Lahser intersection should plan alternate routes starting the week of Monday, Sept. 28.

The intersection will shut down for seven to 10 days while crews install a concrete gutter across the roadway, according to a construction update posted Sept. 16, by the Bloomfield Village Roads group. The work is part of the Green Section Special Assessment District (SAD), the fifth and final phase of road reconstruction in Bloomfield Village.

Contractor Allied Construction will also install concrete curbs and gutters on the west end of Bradway that same week. Curb and driveway approach removals on Bradway east of Hamilton are expected to begin then as well. Asphalt milling on the west end of Bradway will likely follow in early October.

Residents on Bradway west of Hamilton face strict parking rules during the work. Vehicles cannot be parked on the street during the workday and must be removed from overnight spots by 6:30 a.m.

The closure follows a busy stretch of Phase 2 paving. Allied was scheduled to pave six streets starting Wednesday, Sept. 16: Tuckahoe, Sunnydale, Hupp Cross, Drury Lane, Morningview and Overhill. Any streets not completed Wednesday were planned for Friday, Sept. 18. Edge drain installation and curb preparation on Bradway between Hamilton and Lahser continued through the week.

The Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously on April 27 to approve the Green Section SAD. Each parcel in the district is assessed $39,373, down from the original $52,570 estimate residents supported in the petition. The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) added $500,000 in funding toward construction costs in December 2025, on top of roughly $500,000 already committed for administrative and engineering expenses.

Cathy Weissenborn, writing for the Bloomfield Village Roads group, urged residents not to drain swimming pools into the street. "We have come too far and paid too much to have our new roads damaged by pool water," she wrote.

All construction timing is weather-dependent. Fall rain can cost two or three days of progress, and cooler temperatures slow concrete curing.

Residents whose garbage pickup is missed during construction can report it to Priority Waste online or by phone at 855-927-8365. Wayne Dabrowski, RCOC project engineer, and Mark Meszler, Bloomfield Township's project representative, are the contacts for construction questions.
