Michigan Extends 'Do Not Eat' Fish Advisory for Huron River to Lake Erie
- Details
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued an expanded ‘Do Not Eat’ fish advisory for all fish in the Huron River in Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw, Wayne, and Monroe Counties. The original advisory was issued on Saturday, August 4, 2018.
The ‘Do Not Eat’ advisory for the Huron River starts where N Wixom Rd crosses in Oakland County and extends downstream to the mouth of the Huron River as it enters Lake Erie in Wayne County.
2018 N Harris Rd Reconstruction Project
- Details
On Monday, April 2, 2018, the Contractor for the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will CLOSE Harris Rd between Michigan Ave and Holmes Rd in Ypsilanti Township for the Harris Road Reconstruction Project. The two-lane roadway will be reconstructed including bike lanes, concrete curb, driveways, sidewalk, street lights, rain gardens, storm sewer, and water main.
The road will be closed to all through-traffic during construction. This includes the closure of all intersections such as Forest Ave.
Update September 5, 2018 - Many projects on county roads in Washtenaw County are on hold due to a labor dispute between the Michigan Infrastructure Transportation Association (MITA) and the Operating Engineer’s Local 324. The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) is not a party to these negotiations.
This work stoppage halts all paving, some earthwork and underground work done by contractors on county roads. Some bridge work may also be impacted, depending on the contractor. This includes Harris Road reconstruction between Michigan Avenue (US-12) and Holmes Road in Ypsilanti Township. It will remain the contractor’s responsibility to keep work zones safe for the traveling public.
