Progress:

A Public Meeting will be held on April 29, 2025 from 4-7pm at the City of Novi Firearms Training Center located at 26350 Lee Begole Drive. The meeting will be open-house format -- there will not be a formal presentation, but RCOC staff will be present to answer questions throughout the meeting. Additionally, large diagrams of the planned improvements, including preliminary right of way acquisition plans will be available.

Description:

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), in partnership with the cities of Novi and Wixom, will be reconstructing and widening 12 Mile Road between Beck Road and Novi Road.

The project, estimated to cost $35 million, will be funded through a combination of federal funds, RCOC dollars, and contributions from the cities of Novi and Wixom and from Oakland County general government (through the Tri-Party Program).

The improvements will include:

  • Widening 12 Mile Road between Beck and Dixon roads to a four-lane boulevard, including pedestrian facilities on both sides of the road.
  • Removing and replacing the pavement between Dixon and Novi roads.
  • Installing a 10-foot-wide sidewalk on the north side of 12 Mile Road and a 6-foot-wide sidewalk on the south side, excluding at the CSX railroad crossing. The sidewalks at the railroad will be five feet wide on both the north and south sides of 12 Mile Road.
  • Improving the curve at 12 Mile Road east of Beck Road.
  • Updating the CSX railroad crossing.
  • Replacing several large culverts under the road.
  • Replacing existing traffic signals, and adding new signals, throughout the corridor.
  • Constructing an additional southbound lane on Beck Road at the 12 Mile Road intersection.
  • Realigning the Taft Road/12 Mile Road intersection.
  • Reconstructing the West Park/12 Mile Road intersection and adding dual right-turn lanes from West Park to 12 Mile Road.

The proposed work is expected to begin with site preparation in 2026, followed by utility relocation and construction, which will take place from 2027 through late 2028.
