Nixon Rd

Paving Underway 

As of September 12, 2025, Ajax Paving, the contractor working on behalf of the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC), has completed the pulverizing (crushing), shaping, and compaction of the existing asphalt pavement on Nixon Rd between US-23/M-14 and Pontiac Trail in Ann Arbor Township. The resulting crushed material will serve as the base for the new hot mix asphalt (HMA) surface. 

Paving of the first layer of HMA is scheduled for September 12th and 13th. Weather permitting, the contractor will continue by placing the second (top) layer of HMA.

Nixon Road remains closed to through traffic between US-23/M-14 and Pontiac Trail. This closure also affects Warren Road—traffic on Warren Road cannot access Nixon Road.  

Access along Nixon Road will be maintained for local traffic, including residents who live within the closure area.
