Road Work Advisory: Austin Rd, Sharon Hollow Rd (Manchester Twp)

WHEN: Starting on Thursday, July 21, 2022

WHERE: – Austin Rd between county line and Village of Manchester in Manchester Township

– Sharon Hollow Rd between Herman Rd and Austin Rd in Manchester Township

WHY: Preventative maintenance – fog seal

BACKGROUND: Starting on Thursday, July 21, 2022, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will begin preventative maintenance fog seal projects on Austin Rd between county line and Village of Manchester in Manchester Township and Sharon Hollow Rd between Herman Rd and Austin Rd in Manchester Township.

The work on these roads is expected to take two days to complete. However, all dates are tentative and subject to change due to weather conditions.

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.

The work will be conducted under a combination of lane restrictions and daytime closures to allow the fog seal to cure. A contractor for WCRC will return to this area in a few weeks to place permanent pavement markings.

CONTACT: If you have any questions, please contact Ken Harris, superintendent of maintenance, (734) 327-6696 or via email at [email protected].
