What: Asphalt milling, paving operations

When: Monday, July 27, 2009

Where: Hewitt Road, Packard Road to Clark Road / Huron River Drive

Why: Traffic Lane Restrictions / Traffic Delays

Background

The Washtenaw County Road Commission has scheduled asphalt milling and paving operations on Hewitt Road, between Packard Road and Clark Road/Huron River Drive, beginning on Monday, July 27, 2009.  The existing asphalt pavement surface will be removed by cold milling, manhole structures in the milled area will be adjusted, and a new asphalt surface will be paved.  These activities will continue throughout the week.  The work is weather dependent.

Traffic LANE RESTRICTIONS will be necessary to complete this portion of the Hewitt Road project.  Traffic delays are likely. Motorists are advised to seek an alternate route, if possible.  However, access for those residences and businesses within the construction zone will be maintained.

To maintain the safety of road crews, motorists are asked to be especially mindful of the construction activities, including personnel and equipment, and reduce speeds accordingly.  The posted speed limit on Hewitt Road has been reduced to 35 mph for the duration of construction. During the placement of the hot asphalt, pedestrians and bicyclists should keep clear of the area; burns are possible from contact with hot asphalt.

The Washtenaw County Road Commission and Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority thank you in advance for your patience as we near the completion of this project.
