The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is planning an upcoming weekend closure for the M-14/I-96 project between Sheldon and Newburgh roads for continued demolition of the Schoolcraft Road bridge and other bridge work over M-14. This work is weather dependent and subject to change.

From 8 p.m. Friday, June 14, to 5 a.m. Monday, June 17, eastbound and westbound M-14/I-96 will be closed between Sheldon Road and I-275 for bridge deck demolition. The following ramps will also be closed:

Eastbound M-14 to southbound I-275,
Westbound M-14 to Sheldon Road,
Northbound I-275 to westbound M-14,
Southbound I-275 to westbound M-14, and
Sheldon Road to eastbound M-14.
Westbound M-14/I-96 traffic will be detoured to northbound or southbound I-275:

Northbound I-275 traffic can go further north to westbound I-96, then southbound US-23 to eastbound or westbound M-14.
Southbound I-275 traffic can go to westbound I-94, then northbound US-23 to eastbound or westbound M-14.
Eastbound M-14/I-96 traffic will be detoured in Ann Arbor using southbound US-23 to eastbound I-94, then northbound I-275 to eastbound I-96.

Local traffic will use eastbound M-14 to Sheldon Road.

At 5 a.m. Monday, June 17, after M-14/I-96 reopens, the following lane restrictions will begin:

Eastbound M-14/I-96 will have two lanes open from Sheldon to Haggerty roads through early July.
Westbound I-96/M-14 will have two lanes open from Newburgh Road to I-275, then one lane open from I-275 to Beck Road through late July.
The northbound and southbound I-275 ramps to westbound M-14 will be closed through late July.
The westbound I-96 ramp to northbound I-275 will have one lane open through late July.
Beginning Monday, June 24, through early July:

The Newburgh Road ramp to westbound M-14/I-96 will be closed.
The westbound I-96 service drive (Schoolcraft Road) will have two lanes open from Newburgh Road to the westbound I-96 ramp.
The northbound and southbound Sheldon Road ramps to westbound M-14 will be closed.
Local bridges:

Northville Road remains closed over M-14 until Thursday, June 13.
Schoolcraft Road will close Thursday, June 13, once Northville Road reopens.
Robinwood Drive will close over M-14 from Thursday, June 13, until mid- to late July.
Haggerty Road will have one lane open over M-14 from Thursday, June 13, until late July.
This three-year, $139 million investment includes rebuilding the freeway with new concrete pavement from Sheldon Road to Newburgh Road, including the ramps at the M-14/I-96/I-275 interchange. Additionally, the work will include maintenance on 17 bridges and the rebuilding of the I-275 Metro Trail along M-14 from Edward Hines Drive to I-275. Bridge work and shoulder widening will be happening throughout the summer, then next year eastbound M-14/I-96 will be rebuilt, followed by the westbound lanes in 2026.

Good news for Plymouth Township…

At their May 28 meeting, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved moving forward on the design and construction phase of a new Fire Station to replace the current Station 2 in Lake Pointe, and a Resolution of Intent to Issue Bonds for the estimated $8.5 million project. The new facility is scheduled for a construction start in early 2025.

Memorial Day 2024: the Rock remembers.

27/05/2024

A day to remember in Plymouth. After a nice parade down Main Street more than a 1,000 people filled Veterans Park to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. This Memorial Day please remember that it is about more than family gatherings, a day off or bbqs - it's about the men and women who paid the price for our freedom.

It’s opening day!

“…sometimes good law is just good common sense. I have tried to live that out. I am most proud that I have mostly succeeded in what I promised to do when I was sworn in. That’s to be fair and friendly.”

You may have noticed some work being done around Wilcox and Phoenix lakes in Hines Park. It's all part of a process to clean up both of the lakes, which are impoundments of the Rouge River. Wayne County Parks staff will give an update on the work and the upcoming schedule at a townhall event March 28 at Plymouth Township Hall.

Join us on March 28, 2024, from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Plymouth Township Hall for update on the habitat restoration at Wilcox and Phoenix Lakes!

Some good news for Wilcox and Phoenix lakes.

Habitat improvements are coming soon to Wilcox and Phoenix Lake in City of Plymouth, Plymouth Township and Northville Township - Government! The Alliance of Rouge Communities (ARC) is excited for these projects in Wayne County Parks which will create and enhance habitat in and around each lake through placement of substrate used for fish spawning, shoreline stabilization, habitat structure installation, dredging (Wilcox Lake only), treatment and removal of invasive species, and native plantings. As temperatures improve, workers will mobilize to begin invasive species treatment and site preparation so that construction can begin this spring. This effort is part of the ARC's “Rouge River AOC Habitat Restoration - Wilcox/Phoenix Implementation” project funded by a grant from the U.S. EPA Region 5 (Great Lakes Region), Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (Grant # GL-00E03267-0).

This is a sure sign of Spring!

I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty stressful opening this place up every year. Luckily Nick and I are fortunate enough to have two DK loyalists who while having graduated from college and have full-time jobs still love to put in a few hours every week here. It just so happens we’re lucky enough to have them for opening day. If you’ve been coming here for a while it’s safe to say they have served you…Makensie (L-10th year) and Ally (R-9th year) are ready to serve up your favorite tasty treat! With these girls and a veteran night shift opening day should be smooth sailing. Doors are now open. Noon to 9 PM daily until things warm up. Happy New Year everyone!

There was an endless list of excuses Canton senior guard Alexander Persinger could have used Wednesday night if his long-range shots had found iron instead of net. Due to weather-related delays, the Chiefs hadn’t played a basketball game in eight days — and Canton had practiced just once in the ...
