E.T. MacKenzie (ETM), the construction contractor working on behalf of the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC), placed curbs and gutters (C&G) along Bemis Road between Stony Creek Road and Hitchingham Road in Augusta and Ypsilanti Townships. Concrete driveways within the C&G section were also completed with resident cooperation. Concrete is in high demand, and the remaining driveways, all of which will now be poured in concrete due to the profile changes made, will be poured after the asphalt paving is underway.
Next Wednesday, the first layer of hot mix asphalt (HMA) paving will be placed on the compacted aggregate base, followed by two additional layers, which is all weather permitting and dependent on contractor scheduling.
We want to thank property owners for their patience during this project.
Bemis Rd between Stony Creek Rd and Hitchingham Rd will be closed for approximately five more weeks to accommodate the road reconstruction and weather permitting.
WCRC will continue to distribute notices as needed to keep residents informed. We appreciate your patience as we work to complete these important improvements.
If you have any questions, contact Jane Allen, Project Manager, at (734) 327-6691, or via email at [email protected].
