LATHRUP VILLAGE, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – A stretch of road work in Lathrup Village is causing massive headaches for local businesses along Southfield Road.

A resurfacing project of Southfield Road between 11 Mile and 12 Mile roads began on April 29. Jay Lee, who has owned Munson Cleaners for 25 years, said his business hasn’t been as busy as it usually is this time of year.

“It’s just a disaster right now,” Lee told CBS News Detroit.

He said although the project began just over two weeks ago, it hit him straight in the wallet.

“At least 30% of the gross. So it does impact my employees, myself and the supplies, you know, everything,” Lee said.

Just across the street from Munson Cleaners, the owner of 44 Burrito said the dinner rush has become nearly obsolete since the project began.

“Business has dwindled down. I would say 80%. We’re all looking at it as a disaster. What do we do?” said Tara Young, the owner of 44 Burrito.

Young said she recently moved her restaurant from Detroit to Lathrup Village in December. The construction put her in a position where she’s had to pause other projects she had planned to use those funds for marketing as she is looking for ways to get their name out there due to a lack of foot traffic.

“Now, we’re just doing our advertisement under social media, so our Instagram, Facebook, TikTok things, like that. But it’s still dealing with the traffic. It’s still an inconvenience for people,” Young said.

CBS News Detroit contacted the Oakland County Road Commission on Wednesday. At the time this article was published, we hadn’t heard back. 

According to the commission, the project is expected to be completed by the early summer.

The Detroit Lions schedule leaks are starting to come in, as we get nearer to the 8 p.m. ET official NFL schedule release. For the fourth time in the past seven years, the Detroit Lions will face off against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving, according to The 33rd Team.

The Lions are currently in the midst of a seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving—with their last win coming against the Vikings in 2016. The Bears have won three straight Thanksgiving games against Detroit, with the Lions’ last holiday win over Chicago coming in 2014. That said, the Lions have won three of their last four games against the Bears.

But this version of the Bears will be much different than the one we’ve seen in the recent past. Most notably, out is Justin Fields, in is rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears also won four of their final six games in 2023 (including one over the Lions), so Chicago is entering the season with a fair amount of expectations.

While another NFC North matchup on Thanksgiving is slightly disappointing and boring, this particular matchup could be a big one, as both teams have realistic playoff chances this year.

Check out all of the latest Lions schedule news and rumors with our 2024 Lions schedule tracker, and keep your eyes peeled for the entire schedule to be released around 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night. We’ll have instant analysis, quick thoughts, and full coverage of the 2024 NFL schedule release.
