Swanton Community to Experience Major Road Closing

Below is information released today concerning the upcoming intersection closingVillage officials do not expect cutting off complete access to any of the businesses in close proximity to the project.

Village of Swanton Facebook Page Posting:  While we understand that this is not going to be a convenient 30 days, it is beyond our control. The construction schedule has already been pushed back further than it should be, due to the rainy Spring we had, and the construction company has deadlines to meet. These EPA required sewer separation projects have been happening for almost 10 years in phases throughout the Village, with this being the last major one.

As far as Fireworks go, which are set for Saturday, June 29th, there will be another press release later this afternoon or first thing tomorrow morning (06/18/24) from the Village of Swanton Police Department on the flow of traffic coming in/ and leaving.

    I just wrote up a post for Swancreek Township also: “Important Notice: Upcoming Road Work in Swancreek Township

    I’m sure you’ve noticed that orange barrel season is here. We want to give everyone a heads up that July will be the start of road work around the township. Some prep work will begin within the next week to 10 days on Road 4 between Airport Highway and Road F.

    Roads Affected by Upcoming Work:

    Resurface:

    County Road 4: Milling, widening, and resurfacing from County Road F to Airport Highway.

    Chip and Fog Seal:

    Road E: From County Road 2 to County Road 6. – Road 4: From County Road C to County Road D.

    Fog Seal Only:

    Birdsong Lane: From County Road D south to cul-de-sac. – Briar Lane: From County Road D south to cul-de-sac. – Hunters Ridge.

    Important Reminders for Drivers:

    Be Cautious and Slow Down: Most of the roads will be treated with chip seal and fog coat, meaning the stone is layered onto asphalt and rolled. It remains soft until it sets in and then must wait at least 10 days before the fog seal can be applied. This final seal will keep the stone together and protect the road. – Watch for Work Crews: Please drive carefully and watch for workers and equipment on the roads.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our township’s roads. Stay safe and drive cautiously! ” DELRAY BUSCH
