At the Leelanau County Road Commission’s regular meeting Tuesday, Road Commission Manager Brendan Mullane congratulated crews and staff for finishing a “phenomenal” chip seal season. As of the end of July, the road commission chip sealed approximately 37 miles of roads this summer, according to Mullane.
Mullane said that this year’s chip seal operations included some difficult projects, including work on County Road (CR) 641 – Bugai Road – which is wider than many roads in the county. With chip sealing operations complete, the road commission will move onto work on Traverse Lake Road near the M-22 intersection.
They will then begin some “necessary” culvert replacements, including eight replacements and four repairs on CR 626 between Lake Leelanau to Omena; one culvert replacement on Pettengill Road in Empire; and two culvert replacements on Carter Road in Elmwood.
