Barker Rd & Main St

Our resurfacing projects on Barker Rd, between the Railroad crossing and Main St, and Main St, between E. Shore Dr and 8 Mile Rd in Northfield Township, are complete!

On Monday, July 24, 2023, the contractor completed resurfacing the roads and all restrictions were lifted. And on Sunday, August 6, 2023 pavement markings were place on both Barker Rd and Main St. Take a look at the newly placed surfaces below!

Construction is running smoothly on the Barker Rd & Main St resurfacing projects in Northfield Township.  

Over the weekend, crews were able to complete resurfacing on Barker Rd between the Railroad tracks and Main St, as well as Main St between E. Shore Dr and 8 Mile Rd. All restrictions have been lifted on both Barker Rd and Main St. Next steps are placing aggregate shoulders and pavement markings. However, the time frame for this remaining 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

Construction is advancing on the Barker Rd & Main St resurfacing project in Northfield Township!   

Recently, the contractor milled the existing surface of Main St between E. Shore Dr and 8 Mile Rd. Currently, crews are paving the southbound lane of Main St and expect to complete paving the northbound lane within the next few days. Once paving is completed, our crews will perform necessary drainage work and the contractor will return to place pavement markings.  

The contractor just finished milling the existing surface of Barker Rd between the Railroad tracks and Main St. Crews working on Barker Rd will begin paving the new road surface soon. Once this work is complete, our crews will perform necessary drainage work and the contractor will return to placing pavement markings.
