Our resurfacing project on Dixboro Rd between Plymouth Rd and M-14 in Ann Arbor & Superior Townships is making great progress.
On June 17, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) closed the roadway to begin pulverizing the exiting road surface. Once the existing road surface was crushed and shaped, the contractor was able to place the leveling course (first layer) of asphalt throughout the project limits. Currently, the contractor is working to pave the wearing course (top layer) of asphalt and expects to complete paving within the next few days, permitting weather conditions. Once paving is finished, the next step is placing aggregate (stone) shoulders and pavement markings.
WCRC will send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions about the project? Contact Mike Bernbeck, Project Manager – Design & Construction, at (734) 327-6654, or via email at [email protected].

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.
