The Clinton County Road Commission (CCRC) in partnership with Bath Township will be constructing new sidewalks in downtown Bath, sidewalks in various locations along Webster Road, and repaving Webster Road from I-69 to Clark Road.
Sidewalks are being constructed to provide connections between residential areas, downtown Bath, and Bath Community Schools. Webster Road is being resurfaced due to pavement deterioration. The improvements are necessary to ensure safe and reliable transportation systems for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
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. Webster Road will be completed in phases from Drumheller Road to Clark Road and I-69 to Drumheller Road. Webster Road will be closed to through traffic during construction and a detour will be posted. Posted detours will be Drumheller Road to Watson Road to Clark Road and Drumheller Road to Nichols Road to Park Lake Road.
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.
Township Offices Access
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.
