A guide for residents, families, and visiting guests navigating the Beck Road widening project.
Last Updated: May 15th, 2026
The City of Novi has officially launched the “Beck to the Future” initiative – a significant infrastructure investment that will widen Beck Road between Grand River Avenue and 11 Mile Road. As part of this project, a roundabout will also be installed at the Beck Road and 11 Mile Road intersection to improve long-term traffic flow and safety.
We want to keep our residents, families, and visitors fully informed throughout this process. This page will serve as your go-to resource for the latest project status, detour information, and answers to common questions. We appreciate your patience as this corridor is improved for everyone in our community.
What’s Being Built
This project includes several major improvements to the Beck Road corridor:
Key Improvements:
- Widening Beck Road to five lanes from Grand River Avenue to 11 Mile Road
- New roundabout at Beck Road & 11 Mile Road intersection
- Transition from rural ditch to a modern curb-and-gutter system
- Installation of a large-diameter culvert south of Heritage Drive
- An extensive new storm sewer network along Beck Road’s western edge
- Upgraded traffic signal near the hospital
- ADA sidewalk upgrades throughout the corridor
Traffic Impact & Detour Information
Current Conditions – Northbound Detour Active
Beck Road is currently open to southbound traffic only from Grand River Avenue to Sanford Drive. Northbound drivers are being rerouted as follows:
- Turn west on Grand River Avenue
- Head east on 10 Mile Road
- Turn north on Novi Road
Traffic Signal Update
As of May 4, 2026, the traffic signal at Beck Road and Central Park Blvd/Providence Drive has been disabled for the remainder of construction. Vehicles exiting the hospital or Central Park Estates onto Beck Road must follow posted stop signs. Beck Road traffic is not required to stop, but drivers should exercise normal caution when traveling through a construction zone.

Transportation Schedule Adjustments
Our transportation team may need to adjust schedules and limit the number of rides accommodated per day as detours add travel time to each trip. We will communicate any changes to affected residents directly and ask for your patience and flexibility during this time.
