OAKLAND COUNTY (WXYZ) — As a precaution during the coronavirus outbreak, the Oakland County Road Commission is asking the public to stop interacting with road workers.

If you have questions for the agency, it's best that the commission is contacted remotely.

"Refrain from talking with Road Commission workers and contractors in person, including when they are working on or near the roads," according to a county release.

“We recognize that COVID-19 has brought unsettling times for everyone,” said RCOC Managing Director Dennis Kolar. “Maintaining the transportation infrastructure is considered an essential service as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic.
