Residents in Saline, Michigan, are facing heavy gravel truck traffic due to the construction of a large data center by Oracle and OpenAI. Hundreds of trucks daily are transporting materials through downtown Saline along Michigan Avenue, raising concerns about noise, dust, and road safety.

Mayor Brian Marl indicated that the city is taking measures to mitigate these issues, including enhanced traffic enforcement and discussions with the construction management. By early spring, the completion of internal road paving is anticipated to reduce gravel deliveries and alleviate traffic concerns.
