Residents on four Bloomfield Village streets will lose all driveway access for up to two days starting Wednesday, Sept. 2, when Allied Construction lays the first coat of asphalt on the Green Section road project.

Phase 1 paving on Amberly, Endsleigh, Covington Place and Glengarry is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 2, and Thursday, Sept. 3, according to an Aug. 26 construction update from the Road Commission for Oakland County. Streets will be completely closed. No vehicles will be allowed in or out, except emergency responders.

Bloomfield Township has authorized Allied to pave past the normal 7 p.m. construction cutoff, working until dark. Asphalt trucks will stage on Bradway and back up Glengarry to feed the paver.

Anyone who needs a car on paving day must park outside the construction zone before 6:30 a.m. Suggested spots include Glengarry Circle, Williamsbury, and Oak, Yarmouth or Kent Ridge for east-side residents. Allied will place front-door notices about 48 hours before paving begins.

Phase 2 milling begins week of Aug. 31

Allied plans to begin asphalt removal on Phase 2 streets around mid-week of the week of Monday, Aug. 31, starting with Tuckahoe, then Sunnydale, Hupp Cross, Drury, Morningview and Overhill. Milling is expected to take three to four days total. No street parking is allowed during milling; vehicles left in the road may be towed.

For residents who park off-site during milling, Allied will run golf cart shuttles between homes and parked vehicles. Residents can call 248-638-3190 to arrange a pickup.

Phase 2 grading follows the week of Sept. 7, with paving expected the week of Sept. 14.

Bradway work and school buses

Construction on Bradway is expected to begin the week after Labor Day. Allied plans to close intersections with cross-streets and limit through-traffic, forcing detours around each closure.

The Road Commission has notified Birmingham Public Schools Transportation Department of the closures and provided maps. BPS will adjust bus routes so students do not need to cross Bradway during construction and will contact affected families directly about stop changes.

The update on the Bloomfield Village Roads website also warned residents not to drain pool water into the street during construction. Pool water can deteriorate sub-grades and damage new asphalt, the update stated.

Allied is also increasing the number of flaggers in the construction zone. The update separately noted near-misses with drivers speeding through active construction areas.

Residents with questions can contact Wayne Dabrowski, project engineer for the Road Commission for Oakland County, or Mark Meszler, Bloomfield Township's project representative.
