This week, the contractor working on behalf of the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) began road excavation in preparation for the removal of the existing culvert on Warner Rd between Jewell Rd and Judd Rd in York Township. The creek will be diverted prior to removal of the culvert. Weather-permitting, the new culvert will be lowered into position by the beginning of next week.
Following placement of the new culvert, the contractor will install wing walls. These provide support for the roadside slopes and improve water flow through the culvert. The backfill of the culvert will then begin.
Warner Rd remains closed between Jewell Rd and Judd Rd. The detour will continue to be in effect, and motorists are advised to follow this route for the duration of the project.
If you have any questions regarding this project, contact Neeko Robison, Project Manager, at (734) 327-6660 or [email protected]
