A $5.1 million project by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin resurfacing 8 Mile Road (M-102) between Woodward Ave. (M-1) and the Southfield Freeway (M-39).

The construction kicks off tonight, Monday, August 14 at 7 p.m. and will run through late October.

All told, there will be 4.6 miles of 8 Mile Road resurfaced.

According to MDOT information **[relayed by the city of Ferndale](https://www.ferndalemi.gov/news/8-mile-road-resurfacing-project?ref=dailydetroit.com)**, the work will consist of removing and replacing the road surface, repairing joints and cracks, repairing drainage structures, replacing curbs, and updating sidewalks to be Americans Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant.

Woodward Dream Cruise fans will take pleasure that work will be suspended during the weekend of August 18-20 for their event.

Beginning tonight, eastbound and westbound M-102 will have nightly lane closures that will leave two lanes open from 7 p.m. through 5 a.m. Friday.

During the overnight work, the westbound M-102 service drive will be closed to through-traffic at M-1 but will have access to northbound M-1\. The northbound M-39 ramp to eastbound M-102 will be closed.

Work will be performed during nights and weekends to minimize the impact on traffic and lighter traffic makes for a safer work zone. There also will additional lights and message signs.
