Latest Updates
The contractor working on behalf of the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) has completed several items of work on State Rd between Michigan Ave (US-12) and Old State Rd in Pittsfield Township. This includes the installation of new crossroad culverts, construction of new concrete curbs, and installation of the aggregate base.
The next step in the work includes asphalt paving of the newly widened section north of Campus Parkway. Once that has been completed, the contractor will shift to milling (grinding off top layer) and asphalt resurfacing of the existing pavement. This will include paving final asphalt layer (i.e., top course) to the widened section, ensuring a smooth and durable finish for the entire roadway.
Throughout the closure, access to local businesses remains open. WCRC reminds motorists to be extra cautious; please proceed slowly through the construction area and remain attentive to both construction personnel and fellow drivers to promote everyone’s safety.
The WCRC will continue to send updates as the project progresses.
