October 10, 2023 Project Update: Construction To Resume

Heads up Webster Township! Our safety project on N. Territorial Rd and Webster Church Rd will resume Monday, October 16, 2023. 

The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will close N. Territorial Rd between N. Meadows Tr and Donovan Rd to replace two crossroad culverts over tributaries to Arms Creek. WCRC will maintain access only for residents who live, work or own property within the closure limits. However, please be advised that no traffic will be able to travel across the culvert location during construction. 

The remaining work for the N. Territorial and Webster Church Rd safety project is tentatively scheduled to resume Spring 2024. WCRC will continue to send out updates as the project progresses.
