Directions From Westland to Your CPL Classroom
Your CPL class begins at 51261 Milano Drive, Macomb Township, MI 48042, inside the front office of L&M Tool Company. Milano Drive runs north from 23 Mile Road, between Hayes Road and Garfield Road. Our classroom is northeast of Westland in Macomb County, not in Wayne County.
Because this is a cross-county drive, leave enough time for major highway traffic, construction and weekend or weekday congestion. Use the directions button for a current route and check MDOT Mi Drive.
From Westland via I-275 and I-696
From many Westland neighborhoods, one possible approach is to connect to I-275 northbound and continue toward the major eastbound expressways. Depending on traffic, your navigation system may recommend I-696 eastbound and connecting northbound freeways or local roads into Macomb County.
Continue toward the 23 Mile Road corridor and approach Milano Drive between Hayes and Garfield Roads. From westbound 23 Mile Road, Milano Drive will be on your right; from eastbound 23 Mile Road, it will be on your left.
From Eastern Westland via I-96 and I-696
If you're starting near Inkster Road, Middlebelt Road, Merriman Road or the eastern side of Westland, your navigation system may suggest I-96 eastbound and an appropriate connecting route toward I-696 and northern Macomb County.
Follow the recommended highway exits and surface roads toward 23 Mile Road. Once you reach Milano Drive, turn north and continue to 51261 Milano Drive. Because freeway routing varies by congestion and construction, confirm your turns before departing.
Parking and Finding the Classroom
Park in the lot at 51261 Milano Drive. Look for Prime Defense class signs and enter through the front office of L&M Tool Company. Do not look for a standalone Prime Defense storefront. If needed, call 586-625-9744.
Arrival Time and Offsite Range
Please arrive between 7:45 and 7:50 AM for our 8:00 AM sharp start. Since you're traveling from Westland, allow substantial extra time for unpredictable freeway conditions.
After classroom instruction, students drive themselves to an offsite partner range approximately 30 minutes from the classroom. Directions are provided during class.
For additional details, see our Macomb Township classroom page.
