Our resurfacing project on Schneider Rd between Austin Rd and Pleasant Lake Rd in Bridgewater & Freedom Townships went well.
On June 14, the contractor for the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) performed milling operations in specific areas to accommodate asphalt paving. Following milling operations, the contractor placed the new hot mix asphalt pavement throughout the project limits. This week, the contractor is working to place aggregate (stone) shoulders and temporary pavement markings. A schedule for permanent pavement markings is still yet to be determined.
WCRC will send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions about the project? Contact Mike Bernbeck, Project Manager – Design & Construction, (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.
