Project Overview
The Innovate Mound project, located in the cities of Warren and Sterling Heights, Macomb County, will reconstruct approximately nine miles of Mound Road between 11 Mile Road and M-59 and add a fourth lane in each direction from 17 Mile Road to M-59. The project includes new pavement, drainage, curbs and driveways, signal optimization, roadway widening, connected vehicle and fiber optic communications technology, enhanced non-motorized facilities, and energy-efficient lighting.
When complete, Mound Road will look and feel like the state-of-the art technology corridor that it is.
