$4.3 million resurfacing project to begin on Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills
If you're fed up with the construction on Orchard Lake Road, it's not expected to end anytime soon. Starting Monday, June 23, a major resurfacing project breaks ground. "We've been doing the entire Orchard Lake corridor for a number of years now, trying to update each segment," said Craig Bryson, Oakland County Road Commission senior communications manager. CBS Detroit A major $4.3 million resurfacing project kicks off on Monday from Interstate 696 to 13 Mile Road. "It includes milling off the existing road surface paving with new asphalt, improvements to curbs and gutters where needed. One of the big things we're doing to improve traffic flow in the area is we're adding a dual left turn to westbound 12 Mile onto southbound Orchard Lake. That should help alleviate some of the congestion at that intersection," Bryson said. Bryson says the road will remain open with traffic reduced to one lane in each direction. Drivers will also have access to all businesses along the corridor. CBS Detroit "There is no detour route because we're not closing the road," said Bryson. The project is expected to be complete by fall. Although delays are expected, Bryson says crews appreciate everyone's patience as this work gets done. "Ultimately, this will make a much better, smoother road, better functioning road, so we just gotta get through short-term pain for long-term gain," Bryson said. Bryson says throughout this project, there will be two weekends when the intersection of 12 Mile at Orchard Lake roads will close so crews can add the additional turn lane. Those dates will be announced soon.

'It's a big statement from Eustace'
Craig Bryson played more than 250 games for Derby County between 2011 and midfielder was twice named Rams player of the year and was part of the PFA Championship team of the year in played 39 times alongside new Rams boss John Eustace in that 2013-14 campaign as the Rams finished third, losing the Championship play-off final 1-0 to QPR, before Eustace's time at Derby, and playing career, was cut short by a serious knee injury in January Bryson in conversation with BBC Radio Derby on his former teammate. I'm not sure I'd ever imagined Eusty being the manager of Derby, but the way he came across off the pitch and the way he spoke, you could always see him being a coach or a manager. You could see him going down that route.I wouldn't say he was loud in the changing room, but when he spoke, he spoke sense and with the authority that everyone would listen to and take note a cliché in football, but I don't think he ever gets too high or too low. He's good at staying calm. I don't remember him ever coming in and shouting or screaming in a changing room. He just sat down and spoke with authority. He had a good way of putting himself across.I can imagine with him being the man in charge, he would be a really good calming weren't many players throughout my career that made me a much better player, but he definitely did. It was his positioning behind me and talking me through the game, telling me when to press, which way to show them - he was very good at that, managing the game, within the was pivotal that season. He'd manage games. When he was in the team we were a much better unit, and to an extent, he sacrificed his own game for the team.I think he'll be a great manager and has been a big statement from him, leaving a club in the top six and coming and taking over Derby [in their position]. He obviously believes in himself.I remember going to watch him with some of the other Derby lads when he was managing at Kidderminster – we were bitter he never left us any complimentary tickets; we had to pay to get knows what Derby's all about - the training ground, the stadium, the fans – if you get it right at Derby, then in my opinion it's a much better job than the Blackburn Derby went through tough times with administration, that's when the fans rallied together, and you could see the size of the club. They went down to League One but still had massive if they do go down again, which nobody wants, I think they'll still get the crowds, and the fans will be there through thick and thin. John knows that. I think he'll get the backing he wants and probably needs from the board. I think it's a really good appointment, and I hope it goes very well.
