Drivers who use County Road 633 between Bingham and Otto roads are finding alternate routes now that work has begun this week on resurfacing work.

County Road Commission manager/superintendent Herb Cradduck said Tuesday work began on the federal transportation aid-funded project Monday morning. The $1 million project will make improvements to the County Road 633-County Road 618 intersection, including replacing an older concrete culvert with a more modern galvanized steel culvert. The rest of the work includes better ditching along 633 and a new asphalt layer with wider paved shoulder from 618 to Otto Road.

Cradduck said there will be lane closures while work is taking place with flag control to alternate the direction of traffic. “People who drive 633 should expect delays between Otto and 618,” he said. Drivers are encouraged to use County Road 641 or M-22 as direct through routes. Work is scheduled to be completed by May 30, if not before.

In other road work news, Cradduck said work will begin on filling cracks on County Roads 669 and 667 sometime this week. He has also assembled a partial list of roads that will receive seal coating this summer. He expects to have a full list ready to go by the Road Commission’s next meeting, May 20.
