Vision

Mound Road is in need of reconstruction so it will look and feel like the state-of-the-art technology corridor that it is. The road is 30 years old, which surpasses the average roadway expectancy of 25 years. Macomb County currently spends $3 to $4 million annually on maintenance and repairs. The total rebuild from 11 Mile Road to M-59 is far beyond a resurfacing project. Below are the outcomes envisioned for the project.

Projected Outcomes

• Traffic flow improvements
• Better landscaping
• Unified lighting
• Iconic signs and features
• Improved pedestrian access
• Non-motorized multi-use path
• Improved transit stops
• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• Traffic signals and signs
• Emerging mobility features

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 I-696 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.
