July 25, 2023 Project Update: Resurfacing Complete!

Resurfacing has been completed on Whitmore Lake Rd between Joy Rd and N. Territorial Rd in Northfield Township!

Over the weekend, the contractor was able to finish paving the new road surface. All restrictions have been lifted. Next steps are placing aggregate shoulders and pavement markings. The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will send out updates as the project progresses.

As a heads up, N. Territorial Rd between Hellner Rd and Whitmore Lake Rd in Northfield Township is currently being resurfaced. The road will not be closed to traffic, but delays are likely due to lane closures. WCRC encourages motorists, emergency services and others to use an alternate route.
