Detour Information

Project Overview

Beginning Monday, October 13, 2025, the Wayne County Department of Public Services will begin rehabilitation of the Evergreen Road bridges over the Lower Rouge River, located just south of Fair Lane.

This project includes sealing and repairing the bridge surfaces, replacing joints and damaged railings, and upgrading the bridge supports beneath the structure. The work will enhance long-term safety and extend the lifespan of the bridges.

Construction is expected to continue through Summer 2026, weather permitting.

Access to Fair Lane During Construction

During Phase 1 of the project, Fair Lane Drive will be closed to vehicle traffic.

Visitors to Fair Lane, including those attending events such as the Fair Lane Music Guild concerts, should follow posted detour routes or our recommended detour map below.
