WHEN: Starting Monday, August 31, 2020
WHERE: Watkins Road between Cash Road and Herman Road in Manchester Township; Sharon Hollow Road between Austin Road and Sharon Valley Road in Manchester and Sharon Townships AND Pleasant Lake Road between M-52 and Schneider Road in Sharon and Freedom Townships
WHY: Preventative maintenance – fog seal
BACKGROUND: Starting Monday, August 31, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will apply a fog seal on:
- Watkins Road between Cash Road and Herman Road in Manchester Township
- Sharon Hollow Road between Austin Road and Sharon Valley Road in Manchester and Sharon Townships
- Pleasant Lake Road between M-52 and Schneider Road in Sharon and Freedom Townships
Fog seal is another thin layer of liquid asphalt placed on top of a recent chip seal that helps to seal in the chips and further protect the pavement. This work will be conducted under lane restrictions and all vehicles must stay off the fog seal while it cures. Curing time depends on several factors including weather.
This work is expected to be completed by Tuesday, September 1. However, all dates are tentative and subject to change due to weather conditions. Once the fog seal has been completed, WCRC’s contractor will return to place permanent pavement markings in the coming weeks.
CONTACT: If you have any questions concerning this work, please contact Ken Harris, superintendent of maintenance, (734) 327-6696, [email protected].
