Bath Charter Township – Clinton County, Michigan

Webster Road Closure: May 27 – July 3, 2025

Beginning May 27, Webster Road will be closed to through traffic between Clark Road and Drumheller Road for road resurfacing and sidewalk installation. Residents that live within the work area will continue to have access to their homes. The Township’s entrance from Webster Road will not be accessible during this time. To access the Township Offices, Police Department, or Senior Center, residents can enter the Fire Department driveway from Drumheller Road and follow the driveway in front of the Fire Department to the east, up the hill to the cemetery, and around the south side of the Senior Center to access the Township Campus parking lot. Directional signs will be posted throughout the route to guide residents to the parking lot. A map of the route is available below. The Police Department emergency access on Drumheller Road should NOT be used as an alternate entrance. This drive is for emergency vehicles ONLY.

Traffic Detours and Delays

Motorists should anticipate traffic congestion and delays within the project vicinity during construction. Local traffic with a destination within the construction limits will be maintained, however may be periodically restricted due to construction activities. Residential access will vary depending on the timing and location as the work progresses throughout the project. Please plan your travel routes and times carefully to account for probable traffic delays. The posted detour for this phase will be Drumheller Road to Watson Road to Clark Road. A map of the detour and work area is available above.

Residents can expect temporary delays (15-30 minutes) waiting for construction operations to clear a driveway or intersection. CCRC will not be able to provide advance notice to specific residents for temporary delays, as the work crews are continuously moving throughout the day. Depending on the situation, local traffic may be directed by flaggers to follow the detour route around the work area to access from another direction.

Residents will be notified in advance of any longer term closures of driveways. Driveways are typically closed to vehicle traffic for 4 days to allow the concrete to set after pouring. CCRC or the contractor will contact residents prior to closing driveways to make accommodations for access and temporary parking.

Your patience with this road construction project is greatly appreciated. CCRC and Bath Township understand this work is disruptive to the community, businesses, schools, property owners, and Township services, however this disruption is temporary and every effort will be made to construct the project in an efficient manner to reduce impacts to the community.

Driveways

Driveways may be inaccessible for limited periods during construction, but accommodations will be made for residents to park within the road right-of-way as close to their property as possible. Please contact project staff if you need special accommodations or have other accessibility concerns during construction.

Right-of-Way Encroachments

Any items within the road right-of-way, in the construction limits, including trees, landscaping, fences, underground dog fences, irrigation systems, etc., are subject to removal. CCRC is requesting that residents relocate any such items before construction begins. Please contact project staff if you have questions on items that may be impacted on your property. CCRC is not responsible for the salvage or replacement of these items.

Maintaining Community Services

CCRC will coordinate with Bath Community Schools if any bus routes or stops need to be temporarily adjusted during construction. Residents will be notified directly in advance of any changes. USPS mail service will be maintained throughout the project, however mailbox locations may be temporarily relocated to accommodate USPS driver access. Trash services will be maintained throughout the project. CCRC and the contractor will coordinate with local providers to maintain access.

Public Safety Services

All public safety services (Police, Fire, EMS) will be given access through the construction areas as much as is possible.

Access to Township Offices, Police Department, and Senior Center

During the Webster Road closure between Drumheller Road and Clark Road, an alternate entrance to the Township Offices will be posted at the Fire Department entrance leading up the private access drive to the Senior Center.

Project updates will be posted on the Township Facebook page and the Clinton County Road Commission Facebook page.

Project information will also be available on this webpage, as well as Clinton County Road Commission’s website.
