Paving operations continue on W. Rolston Road. Now that the base course of asphalt is complete, the contractor has moved on to the leveling (middle) course of asphalt. The road profile for W. Rolston Road includes three “lifts” or asphalt courses. The base course, the leveling course, and the final or top course. The paving contractor expects to complete the leveling course from end to end today. Tomorrow (Friday) they will continue to work on driveway approaches to prepare for the final top course, which is currently scheduled for Monday. Travel throughout the project will continue to be intermittent as paving operations progress. Please look for directions from flaggers that will be present while work continues. The contractor intends to allow travel in both directions while work occurs. The contractor will continue to work directly with the residents and businesses within the work zone to coordinate access. Work zones require extra caution, and we ask for your support in keeping safety a top priority. Please remember to: · Slow down and stay alert when approaching and traveling through construction areas. · Follow posted signs and directions from workers. · Plan ahead for potential delays and seek alternative routes when necessary. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve W. Rolston Road. Working together we can create a safer and more efficient roadway while minimizing disruptions.

As part of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the State of Michigan requires municipal water systems to test various water samples from around the community to ensure that the residents are receiving quality drinking water. We are currently conducting our second round of sampling for lead and copper levels in residential homes. At this time, we have a limited number of free test kits available for residents connected to the municipal water system. If you are interested in being part of this program, please reach out to our office to register for a free test kit. Test kits are available for a limited time and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Each kit contains everything you need to complete the process including a sample bottle and sampling instructions. The sampling process typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete. The Department of Public Works will deliver the test kit to your home and pick up the sample when you are completed. The deadline for all samples must be completed and scheduled for pick up no later than Monday, November 17, 2025. Call 810-735-7980 to register for a test kit.

Now that the underground work and curb and gutters are complete, the contractor is beginning to work the final grade on the roadway to prepare for paving operations. The current schedule has the paving contractor starting on Monday, August 18 th . In order for the paving contractor to safely and efficiently pave the base lavers of asphalt at the N. Bridge intersection, we will be implementing a temporary full road closure between N. Bridge Street and Beach Buggy Lane Monday morning. All traffic will have to use the Hogan Road connection to access W. Rolston Road during that time. Once the intersection is complete, paving operations will be focused on one continuous lane from end to end. The roadway will have one open lane for traffic as that work progresses. Travel in the open lane will be temporarily controlled by flaggers as paving operations continue. Once one lane is completed from end to end, the contractor will move to the opposite side of the road to begin paving the remaining lane. At that point, traffic will be allowed to travel on the new section of asphalt. Once again, travel will be controlled by flagging operations as work progresses. The contractor will be working directly with the residents and businesses within the work zone to coordinate access. The landscape contractor will continue to progress to the west over the weekend and throughout next week until landscape repairs are completed. Work zones require extra caution, and we ask for your support in keeping safety a top priority. Please remember to: · Slow down and stay alert when approaching and traveling through construction areas. · Follow posted signs and directions from workers. · Plan ahead for potential delays and seek alternative routes when necessary. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve W. Rolston Road. Working together we can create a safer and more efficient roadway while minimizing disruptions.
