Wayne County crews continue to address the flooding caused by last night's heavy rainfall. Over two inches of rain fell, leading to significant flooding and road closures. Our DPS and Drains Maintenance crews have been working overnight to clear blocked drains, remove debris, and improve drainage.
The following locations are currently impacted and are closed:
â¡ï¸Michigan Avenue between Greenfield and Rotunda in Dearborn Heights
â¡ï¸Haggerty Road between Ecorse and Van Born in Van Buren Township
â¡ï¸Hines Drive from Outer Drive to Ann Arbor Trail in Westland
Avoid flooded roadways and do not attempt to cross them. Even a small amount of water can be dangerous and may cause significant damage.
â¼ï¸Please avoid the affected areas, use caution, and stay safe as crews remain on-site.

Please read Treasurer Eric R. Sabree's statement regarding today's threats in our building and important deadline updates. Thank you to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office and the Detroit Police Department for their quick response and thorough investigation to ensure everyone's safety.
Seasonal weight restrictions, also known as frost laws, have officially been lifted, on all state trunkline highways in Southern Michigan, including Wayne County.
These restrictions are put in place every spring to protect our roads during freeze-thaw cycles. Now that conditions have stabilized, weight limits are back to normal for state-managed routes.
Some local city and county roads may still have separate restrictions in place.
For weight restriction information and updates, check comments.
