WAYNE COUNTY MAKES IMPROVEMENTS TO DIX AVENUE IN THE CITY OF DEARBORN
WAYNE COUNTY, MI – Wayne County Department of Public Services announces an upcoming road improvement project in the City of Dearborn.
The project will include 0.30 mi of concrete pavement inlay on Dix Ave from Rouge River to northeast of Miller Rd.
Construction is scheduled to begin on Aug. 10, 2026, and is estimated to be complete by Fall 2026, barring any unforeseen delays or inclement weather.
The project will require removal and replacement of the existing concrete pavement, ADA sidewalk and ramps, signing, pavement markings, and turf establishment.
Staged construction will be used to complete this work. One bound of Dix Ave will be closed and detoured at a time.
During construction:
Eastbound Dix Ave will be closed from the Rouge River to Ferney St.
- Eastbound traffic will be detoured west on Mellon St, north on Schaefer Hwy, east on Rotunda Dr, south on Miller Rd, east on Eagle Pass, south on Ferney St, and East on Vernor Hwy to return to eastbound Dix Ave.
