With winter out of the way, the chewed-up Maybee Road between Clintonville and Marvin Road is due for some repaving next week, starting Monday, April 24.
“This is pretty straight forward work,” said Craig Bryson, Road Commission for Oakland County senior manager of communications.
“It will require we close one lane of traffic at a time. They’ll have flaggers directing traffic around the work area. So, it will have an impact on traffic, though the road will
never be closed.”
Asked on social media about the Clarkston area’s worst roads, with
more than 7,000 views, Maybee Road came in third, with 16 votes.
“Maybee is terrible,” posted Jacqueline Erny.
Parview Drive came in first place, with 35 votes; followed by
Snow Apple Drive, 28; and Sashabaw Road, 15.
“Parview and Lingor are horrible – you have to drive like it’s a maze to dodge potholes,” posted Terri Stearley.
“Parview, and I don’t even live on that street. It’s worse than most dirt roads around here,” posted Tina Bergholtz-Redmond.
The Maybee Road repaving project is part of the Preservation Overlay Program, said  Bryson.
Maybee Road made the list based on a review of roads, and prioritized based on
traffic volume and location, Bryson said.
“There’s actually five days of work planned,” he said. “Two days to do milling, where we mill off bad sections of the existing pavement, and then three days to pave.”
Milling is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, April 24-25; and paving,
Wednesday to Friday, April 26-28. Repaving will include a one-and-a-half to two-inch asphalt cap on the road, extending the life of the 2.5-mile stretch for another
five to 10 years.

Parents of North Sashabaw Elementary and Sashabaw Middle School students
should allow extra time for pick up and drop off during the week of April 24. This project will cost about $500,000, Bryson said.
“This comes from the state road funding, which is our primary road funding source,
so, essentially it’s the state collected gas tax and vehicle registration fees,” he said.
