Waters Rd

On September 8, 2025, Cadillac Asphalt, a Michigan Department of Transportation contractor working on behalf of the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) completed the asphalt paving of Waters Rd between Oak Valley Dr and Ann Arbor-Saline Rd in Pittsfield Township. Temporary pavement markings were placed, and the road was reopened to all traffic.  

Next up: Permanent pavement markings and traffic signal detection (“wireless nodes”) will need to be completed. This portion of the project should be completed in the next few weeks.
