A road construction project thatâs expected to have a major impact on traffic in Hamburg Township is expected to start Monday.
A pavement rehabilitation and shoulder paving project is scheduled along a 1.5-mile stretch of Chilson Road from the intersection of Swarthout Road to the Hamburg Township line. Crews will mill the existing surface and then place two new courses of asphalt. The Livingston County Road Commission had to postpone the work for a week due to the recent weather.
Work is expected to begin around 7am Monday on Chilson Road.
Signage and message boards are up to warn motorists. The Road Commission advises that two-way traffic will be maintained through flag control and those traveling in the area should prepare for major delays during the course of construction.

A road improvement project has been approved in Hartland Township.
The Board of Trustees met Tuesday night and approved a contract agreement with the Livingston County Road Commission for the rehabilitation of Parshallville Road.
Work involves an asphalt overlay of roughly .34 miles from the end of the current pavement on Parshallville Road to Linden Road. The project is pegged at $165,000 but since itâs included in the Road Commissionâs Pavement Preservation Program, the cost of the work is shared and the township is only responsible for 50%. It was noted during the meeting that as part of the agreement, the Road Commission has agreed to move forward with additional work on Parshallville Road.
