Work is being delayed on a new section of the Border to Border Trail in Scio Township.
Construction is being halted for two months on a paved pathway that runs from Zeeb Road to Delhi Road along the Huron River.
Peter Sanderson is the Project Manager for the Washtenaw County Parks & Recreation Commission. He says because there is a railway near the site, work had to temporarily stop while the project’s contractor gets permission from Amtrak to continue.
<i>“We have two out of the three approvals right now that are required. So, we’re hoping that it will be less than two months.”</i>
Construction is expected to resume sometime after Labor Day. In the meantime, traffic restrictions on Huron River Drive between Zeeb and Delhi are being lifted until work can resume.
