9/25/14 - Overnight paving work is planned on Grand River in the Brighton area as part of a multi-stage reconstruction project this weekend. Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine tells WHMI the project is coming along, with all of the new curb and driveways in. He says they will be removing the asphalt, a process called milling, starting Friday night at around 8:30 in the area of Grand River from roughly Gordon Food Service to I-96, as well as about 800 feet of Hilton Road right at Grand River. The first stage should be done by Monday. Craine says the rest of the work on Grand River will be between Hacker and Gordon Food Service but more labor intensive and done during the daytime hours as it involves revising storm water drainage. He says the next two stages will involve swapping traffic to the north and south sides of Grand River, with a single lane of traffic maintained in each direction. Each stage is expected to take between two to three weeks to complete and Craine says the contractor will be working to get everything done by early November. Meanwhile, Winans Lake Road between Whitmore Lake Road and Hamburg Road is being paved in the Green Oak and Hamburg Township areas. The Livingston County Road Commission began milling out existing pavement yesterday to make room for the overlay, which will be continuing today. Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine says on Saturday and Sunday, crews will be paving the road and on Monday, the road shoulders and driveways will be adjusted to align with the new height of the asphalt. The wedge and overlay work on Winans Lake Road is a county project, and not part of the voter approved road milllage work in Green Oak Township. A resurfacing project on M-36 is also slated to begin next week and run through mid-November, laying down new roadway along a ten-mile stretch of M-36 between US-23 in Green Oak Township and the Village of Pinckney. That project will involve closing off a lane in certain areas, but traffic will be maintained through flag control. (JM)
