New road work begins Nov. 12 in Manchester, Bridgewater, and Freedom townships

Some additional Manchester-area rural roads will be affected by Washtenaw County Road Commission work next week.

Most affecting those who commute east of town will be an intermittent closure in Freedom Township. Pleasant Lake Road installation east of Reno Road will have intermittent lane closures for installation of a guardrail. Work is expected to start and finish on Monday, November 12.

Limestone resurfacing will cause some daytime closures on McCollum Road from US-12 to Burmeister in Bridgewater Township, between Nov. 12-21. No detours will be provided.

Mull Road in Manchester Township, between Lakeview and Lakeside Drives, will be closed for culvert replacement during the week of November 12. No detour will be posted.

No further updates have been posted on the Sharon Valley Road bridge, where work will continue as weather permits and is scheduled for completion in Spring 2019.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
