Roadwork Advisory: Old US-12 and Werkner Road Lane Restrictions Starting Oct. 6

Lane restrictions are planned to start Tuesday, Oct. 6, on Old US-12 in Sylvan Township and on Werkner and Stofer roads in Lyndon Township, as the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) installs a high friction surface.

The roads will not be closed, but delays are likely. WCRC encourages motorists, emergency services, and others to use an alternate route.

The work is expected to take about four weeks. All dates are tentative and subject to change because of weather.

Questions regarding this roadwork project should be directed to Elena Yadykina, Project Manager, at (734) 327-6675 or email [email protected].
