Military Avenue in Dearborn will be closed beginning on Aug. 8 and lasting through Aug. 22 from just south of Alexandrine to 100 feet south of the Rouge River Bridge.

The road closure is to allow for sewer and water main construction.

The city originally planned to start the construction just before Dearborn Homecoming (Aug. 6 and Aug. 7)  but made the good decision to postpone the work until after that busy homecoming weekend.

Detour signs will be posted.
