November 20, 2024 Project Update #12: Jackson Rd (Scio Twp)

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. 

If you have questions about the project? Contact Aaron Berkholz, Assistant Director of Engineering, at (734) 327-6648, or via email at [email protected].

On Monday, August 26th, the WCRC contractor will be adjusting temporary traffic control, directing westbound Jackson Rd motorists to use the newly paved concrete lane (next to the boulevard island) between Myrtle Ave and Jackson Industrial Dr in Scio Township. Westbound traffic will be maintained in a single lane through the construction zone.

The week of August 26th, the contractor will begin removing the old concrete pavement in the north side lane and placing aggregate (stone) base. In the coming weeks, concrete curb and gutter and new concrete pavement will be constructed. The work schedule is dependent upon weather conditions.

Access to the businesses along Jackson Rd will continue to be maintained. Some driveways will be half-width and others will be completely closed (where another driveway can be used). We appreciate the patience of the business owners and their customers as we work to improve Jackson Rd.

WCRC will continue to send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions about the project? Contact Aaron Berkholz, Assistant Director of Engineering, at (734) 327-6648, or via email at [email protected].

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.

June 6, 2024 Project Update#17: Border-to-Border Trail – Huron River Dr Trail (Scio Twp)

We’re one step closer to completion on the Border-to-Border Trail, Segment D3, in Scio Township. 

On Wednesday, June 5, 2024, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) contractor used two large cranes to place the 200-ft prefabricated steel pedestrian bridge over the Huron River. This is a major milestone in the construction of the trail. In the coming weeks, the contractor will build boardwalk between the trail and the bridge and construct a third retaining wall. There’s still quite a bit of work remaining, but the trail is expected to be completed in the next couple of months. 

As a reminder, the pathway remains closed to the public. Even though there is asphalt on some portions of the trail, this location continues to be an active construction zone and is not open for public use. The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will continue to send out updates as the project progresses.    

Have questions? Contact Michele Ford, Sr. Project Manager – Traffic & Safety, at (734) 327-6652, or via email at [email protected].

June 5, 2024 Hybrid Informational Session: Renew & Restore County-wide Roads & Non-motorized Millage

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.”

This work will involve excavation, pile driving, and concrete work. The bridge erection is expected to happen this summer. Next week, there may be some work along the trail that will cause intermittent lane restrictions on Huron River Dr between Zeeb Rd and E Delhi Rd, so please stay alert when using this segment of road.  

As a reminder, please refrain from entering the project site or climbing on the bridge pieces. This location continues to be an active construction zone and is not open for public use. The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will continue to send out updates as the project progresses.  

Have questions about the project? Contact Michele Ford, Sr. Project Manager – Traffic & Safety, at (734) 327-6652, or via email at [email protected]

March 15, 2024 Project Announcement: 2024 Resurfacing Program (County-wide)

The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) is announcing plans to invest $6.7 million to improve approximately 20 lane miles of pavement throughout Washtenaw County during the 2024 construction season. Cadillac Asphalt was awarded the contract. The projects are funded through the 2021-2024 Four-year County-wide Roads and Non-Motorized Millage, federal funds and Michigan Transportation Funds (MTF).

“Most of these investments are made possible by Washtenaw County residents who travel on these roads every day. As stewards of these precious dollars, WCRC is committed to ensuring these resources are reinvested into communities, in which it came from,” said Mike Bernbeck, WCRC Project Manager.

Construction will begin mid-April and will end during the fall of 2024, weather pending. Listed below are the project locations with a link to their project web page, funding cost and traffic impacts:

Motorists will experience road closures with detours, lane restrictions, and flagging operations. WCRC will maintain access for residents who live or work within the project limits during construction.

WCRC will host a virtual public information meeting regarding the County-wide Resurfacing projects in Spring 2024. WCRC will post project updates online at wcroads.org. Residents can subscribe to road work advisories and project updates here.

March 12, 2024 Project Announcement: Jackson Rd Concrete Rehabilitation (Scio Twp)

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.

For specific questions regarding this project, please contact Aaron Berkholz, Assistant Director of Engineering, at (734) 327-6648, or via email at [email protected].
