WHY: Preventative maintenance – fog seal
BACKGROUND: Starting on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will begin preventative maintenance fog seal projects on Willis Rd between City of Saline and Platt Rd in York Township, Platt Rd between Judd Rd and Willis Rd in York Township, Bemis Rd between Platt Rd and Carpenter Rd on the border of York and Pittsfield Townships and Whittaker Rd between Arkona Rd and Willow Rd in Augusta 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].
