On January 30, 2026, a Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) contractor began working to prepare the intersection of Parker Rd at Shield Rd in Lima and Scio Townships for the installation of a three-way traffic signal.
During the week of February 2, 2026, the contractor completed the installation of two traffic signal pole foundations.
Next steps
- Complete the pole foundation installations
- Install the overhead traffic signal equipment
The contractor will finish the remaining pole foundation work and then will temporarily cease operations on site for several weeks. This pause is necessary to allow the concrete foundations to fully cure and to wait for the arrival of the remaining equipment. Once the curing process is complete and the equipment has been delivered, the contractor will return to continue the work.
WCRC will keep residents informed as the intersection improvements progress.
If you have any questions concerning this project, please contact Becky Houle, Project Manager, at (734) 327-6678 or [email protected].
