Drain Pipe Collapse Forces Street Closure in Macomb County
HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A drainage pipe collapse has forced the closure of a street in Macomb County’s Harrison Township.
The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens reports (http://bit.ly/2tl9ObK ) Monday that the 48-inch pipe beneath North River Road near Interstate 94 collapsed Friday.
Parts of the road’s shoulder and asphalt road surface were starting to fail. County Roads department planning director John Crumm said the pipe is rusting and losing its structural integrity and needs to be replaced.
The road is expected to remain closed until replacement and restoration work is complete. Detour signs are posted.
The sewer collapse in Macomb County’s Fraser was discovered Dec. 24 and caused a sinkhole the size of a football field. The 11-foot diameter interceptor services 11 communities.
Three homes were condemned.
