We’re getting ready to pave on our Hogback Rd asphalt resurfacing project taking place between M-17 and Clark Rd in Pittsfield Township!
Since the last update, the contractor for the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) has completed pulverizing (crushing) the road. While inclement weather has delayed operations for today (August 5th), the contractor plans to pave the leveling course (first layer of asphalt) and the wearing course (top layer of asphalt) later this week. After paving is finished, aggregate (stone) shoulders and permanent pavement markings will be placed.
As a reminder, the road remains closed to all through traffic. WCRC will send out updates as the project progresses. Have any questions about the project? Contact Mike Bernbeck, Project Manager – Design & Construction, at (734) 327-6654, or via email at [email protected].
Our resurfacing project on Hogback Rd between M-17 and Clark Rd in Pittsfield Township is progressing well.
On July 25, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) closed the road to replace a crossroad culvert. Once the drainage work was completed, the contractor for WCRC began pulverizing (crushing) the existing road surface. This material will be used as supplemental road base for the new asphalt pavement. The contractor expects to begin asphalt paving the week of August 5th, weather permitting.
WCRC will send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions? 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.
