6/19/14 - A road repair project to rehabilitate pavement and storm drains kicks off next week in Brighton Township. The work is scheduled for Hunter Road between Hilton and Hyne Roads. Brighton Township is funding the project, which involves strengthening the road base, repairing drainage structures, and removing and replacing the pavement. The Livingston County Road Commission says the project will begin with a road closure between Orion Drive and Margo Drive starting this Monday, June 23rd and lasting through Thursday, July 3rd. The balance of work will be performed under flag control. The initial closure is required to reinforce the road base in the area of deep wetland soils, which will consist of removing the existing road and cross culvert and replacing with lightweight fills in accordance with a permit issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The balance of the work involves repairs to drainage structures, removing and replacing short sections of failed curb before milling out existing pavement and replacing it. The entire project is expected to wrap up July 31st. (JM/JK)
