July 24, 2023 Project Update: Resurfacing Complete!

Resurfacing on 7 Mile Rd between Dixboro Rd and Pontiac Tr in Salem Township is complete!  

Last week our contractor was able to finish paving the new surface of 7 Mile Rd. All restrictions have been lifted. Next steps are placing aggregate shoulders and pavement marking. However, the timeframe for this work is still yet to be determined.  

The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will continue to send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions about the project? Contact Mike Bernbeck, project manager, at (734) 327-6654, or via email at bernbeckm@wcroads.org

July 19, 2023 Project Update: Construction Is Going Well

Construction is going well on the 7 Mile Rd resurfacing project, located between Dixboro Rd and Pontiac Tr in Salem Township.  

Over the last few days, our contractor was able to mill the butt joint. Next steps are paving the roadway and shoulders and performing necessary drainage work. Once this work is completed, our contractor will return to placing pavement markings.  

We hope to complete paving the road by the end of this week. However, all dates are tentative and subject to change based on weather conditions and contractor scheduling. The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will continue to send out updates as the project progresses.

WHEN: Saturday, July 15, 2023

BACKGROUND: On Saturday, July 15, 2023, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will begin a resurfacing project on 7 Mile Rd between Dixboro Rd and Pontiac Tr in Salem Township.

The road will not be closed to traffic, but delays are likely due to lane restrictions and a flagging operation. WCRC encourages motorists, emergency services and others to use an alternate route.

The road improvements are expected to take approximately one week. However, all dates are tentative and subject to change due to weather conditions.
