Crews are working to complete the forecast items on the Marshall County Highway Department’s 2021 Road Program.
Marshall County Highway Superintendent Jason Peters told the Marshall County Commissioners this week that millings have been put down on Tomahawk Trail and on 18B Road west of State Road 331. Both roads would be included in next year’s Road Program for chip sealing. Mill Pond Trail and Cook Lake Trail will also have milled asphalt with an application of bonding material. Both of these roads will be a part of next year’s road program for chip sealing.
Tom Mathewson, a resident on Mill Pond Trail, told the commissioners that the Mill Pond Trail Road was put in in the 1990s and has deteriorated greatly since its installation. Commission President Kevin Overmyer assured Mathewson that the Highway Department will work on it this year with millings, weather permitting, with more work in 2022.
Work is continuing on Community Crossings projects and additional paving projects. Sycamore, South Michigan Street, North and East Shore, and 3A Road projects are done. Milestone Contractors North have yet to finish Muckshaw Road from 13th to 14th, 14th from Muckshaw to U.S. 31, Pretty Lake Trail from Quince to State Road 17, South and West Shore and Sage from West Shore to State Road 110.
