Clarkston Road work

Work on Clarkston Road from Clearview to east of Lakeview Road in Independence Township was set to start this week.
Road Commission for Oakland County is applying high-friction surface treatment on two curves on Clarkston Road, between Clearview Street and Eston Road. The epoxy and gravel mix is intended to provide better traction.
It provides a coarse, sandpaper-like surface designed to improve friction and reduce the likelihood of vehicles running off the road. The process will begin with cleaning new asphalt placed on the road over the summer. An epoxy will then be applied followed by the application of small, coarse gravel to the road’s surface.
The project cost is $210,000, funded by RCOC and done by Smith’s Waterproofing of Almont, Mich.
The road will remain open to traffic, and flaggers will direct motorists through the work zone areas. The project is expected to be finished by Oct. 21.
