Background
The Washtenaw County Road Commission and Dan’s Excavating, Inc. have scheduled the CLOSURE of the Portage Lake Canal at Dexter-Pinckney Road, located between Portage Lake and Little Portage Lake in Section 2 of Dexter Township, beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, August 2, 2010. This waterway closure will facilitate the installation of the new bridge beams and related items of work.
Every effort will be made to reopen the canal as soon as safely possible. However, care must be taken during the placement, grouting and post-tensioning of the beams. The canal closure is scheduled to be in place until the end of the work day on Friday, August 6, 2010.
The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Boating / Marine Safety Division has been advised of the canal closure. The Washtenaw County Road Commission and Dan’s Excavating, Inc. thank area boating enthusiasts in advance for your patience as we undertake this phase of the bridge replacement project.
