On Thursday, November 7, 2024, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) completed the concrete pavement inlay project on westbound Jackson Rd between Myrtle Ave and Jackson Industrial Dr in Scio Township.
The week of November 4, the contractor addressed pavement surface imperfections through a process commonly referred to as “bump grinding”. They also installed wireless nodes (“pucks”) in the pavement. These devices detect vehicles, communicate with nearby traffic signals, promoting efficient signal operations and flow of traffic.
The patience displayed by area motorists and business owners along this busy primary county road has been greatly appreciated.

On Friday, August 9th, the contractor moved temporary signs and barricades, switching crossovers (“Michigan lefts”) for traffic traveling on Jackson Rd between Jackson Industrial Dr and Myrtle Ave in Scio Township. These crossovers are used by eastbound and westbound motorists to access businesses on the opposite side of the Jackson Rd boulevard.
Last week, after the new concrete pavement had cured and gained sufficient strength, the contractor sawed and sealed the joints and swept the new pavement. The remaining old concrete in the westbound lane adjacent to the boulevard is now being removed. Placement of the new concrete pavement in these areas is planned for later this week, depending on weather conditions.

Construction is moving along on the Border-to-Border Trail along Huron River Dr between Zeeb Rd and Delhi Metropark in Scio Township.
Currently, the contractor is building the boardwalk that links the pedestrian bridge to the pathway. Later this week, the contractor is scheduled to finish paving the pathway. The paving will take a few days, and it is important for pedestrians and bicyclists to stay off the pathway during that time to avoid damaging the new asphalt surface. Also, freshly placed asphalt is very hot and can cause burns and damage to tires.
For your safety and the safety of workers, please remember to stay out of the work zone. The contractor is working hard to finish the pathway in the coming weeks, and they need room to work! The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will continue to send out updates as the project progresses.

Washtenaw County, Wednesday, June 5, 2024 – The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) and the Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission (WCPARC) invites the public to a hybrid informational session on Monday, June 24, 2024, at 11:30 a.m. to learn more about the renew and restore 0.5 mill four-year county-wide roads and non-motorized millage (Proposal A). WCRC encourages residents to join the conversation either in person or in a Zoom meeting.
- Event: Renew & Restore Roads & Non-motorized Millage Informational Session
- Date: Monday, June 24, 2024
- Time: 11:30 a.m.
- In-person: Washtenaw County Road Commission, 555 North Zeeb Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103
- Zoom Link: https://bit.ly/wcrcprojectmeeting , or by phone: (929) 205-6099, Meeting ID: 879 2332 8754
Washtenaw County voters are being asked on the August 6, 2024, ballot to renew and restore the 0.5 mill four-year county-wide roads and non-motorized millage (Washtenaw County Proposal A). This is not a new tax for voters. If renewed and restored, the 0.5 mill is expected to generate approximately $10.9 million per year for roads and non-motorized pathway projects. WCRC would receive approximately $4.9 million per year for road work in 20 townships, Cities would receive approximately $3.8 million per year, with specific allocations based on the amount raised within cities borders, and WCPARC would receive approximately $2.2 million per year to support the expansion of the county non-motorized path network through the Border-to-Border Trail Project (B2B Trail) and the Connecting Communities Grant Program.
“Since its inception a decade ago, the county-wide roads and non-motorized millage has consistently delivered on its promise to improve the roadways, bridges, and non-motorized pathways in Washtenaw County,” said Matthew MacDonell, Managing Director of Washtenaw County Road Commission. “Through strategic investments and careful planning, we have witnessed significant progress in addressing the condition of our critical infrastructure.”
“The Roads and Non-motorized Millage is a testament to the power of collective action and community investment. As we look towards the future, we are confident that our continued partnership with WCRC, Township, and City leaders and residents will enable us to build upon past successes and pave the way for a brighter, more resilient tomorrow,” said Coy Vaughn, Director of Washtenaw County Parks & Recreation Commission.
More than 70% of county voters approved of the four-year, 0.5 mill roads and non-motorized millages in 2016 and 2020. With widespread support from our residents, the proposed Roads and Non-motorized Millage has consistently demonstrated its effectiveness in addressing the needs of our community.
“ The Roads and Non-motorized Millage have been a vital lifeline for our community, providing the necessary resources to improve our road infrastructure and non-motorized pathways, says Chuck Tellas, Supervisor for York Township. Our Township remains committed to working collaboratively with WCRC and WCPARC to ensure that our roads and non-motorized facilities remain safe, accessible, and well-maintained for the future.”

The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) plans to rehabilitate the concrete pavement in the westbound lanes of the Jackson Rd Corridor, between Jackson Industrial Dr and Myrtle Ave in Scio Township.
The Jackson Rd Corridor is a major artery that connects communities and is crucial to moving goods and services throughout Washtenaw County. The Jackson Rd Corridor Pavement Rehabilitation project is funded, in part, by the current Four-Year County-wide Roads and Non-Motorized Millage and the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF). The estimated construction cost is $1 million.
“This road improvement is necessary to preserve and maintain a highly relied upon primary road,” says Aaron Berkholz, WCRC Assistant Director of Engineering. “The benefit of this investment in the county infrastructure will be realized for many years to come.”
During construction, a WCRC contractor will close one westbound lane of Jackson Rd, between Jackson Industrial Dr and Myrtle Ave, at a time. Westbound traffic will be maintained in a single lane, adjacent to the lane under construction. Based on significant traffic volumes on Jackson Rd, motorists can expect delays in the area.
WCRC will host a virtual public information meeting regarding this project in Spring 2024. For more information visit the project web page here.
WCRC will alert the public with construction updates on the WCRC website. Sign up for WCRC project updates here.
