Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel talks about infrastructure improvements planned for Avon Road between 23 Mile Road and Dequindre. The plans will help ease traffic congestion, improve traffic safety and pedestrian safety. 1, in a collaboration between the Road Commission for Oakland County, the Macomb County Department of Roads, the city of Rochester Hills, and the Great Lakes Water Authority, a project expected to span two years will replace and widen the aging Avon Road bridge, add two roundabouts at 23 Mile Road/Avon Road/Dequindre Road and at Avon and Dequindre, add a left-hand turn lane and add pedestrian walkways. According to the Road Commission for Oakland County, Avon Road handles more than 17,000 vehicles per day, with Dequindre north of 23 Mile Road handling about 17,000 daily and the southern Dequindre Road connector taking about 13,000 per day.
The unique bend of the Clinton River where Dequindre, 23 Mile Road and Avon roads meet, called an oxbow, is truly one of the most beautiful and distinctive locations in Macomb or Oakland County.īut thanks to increased traffic volume and outdated infrastructure, Avon Road between 23 Mile Road and the southern Dequindre Road connector is a constant gridlock nightmare, exacerbated every year by the arrival of cider and doughnut season and the incredibly popular Yates Cider Mill.
