The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) is pleased to announce a 2023 Safety Improvement Project at the intersection of Miller Rd and Zeeb Rd in Scio Township.
What will the improvement look like?
WCRC is planning to install turn lanes and a traffic signal at the intersection of Miller Rd and Zeeb Rd in Scio Township.
Why this intersection?
WCRC monitors intersections across the county for traffic volumes and safety. This intersection has experienced a number of serious crashes over the years. This improvement is designed to help reduce the number and severity of crashes.
How is this project funded?
WCRC has been awarded a federal grant through the highway safety improvement program from the Michigan Department of Transportation, which administers the funds on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration. This grant will fund the vast majority of the project’s cost. Per the program rules, these grant dollars can only be spent on this project, they cannot be applied to other road work.
