WATS has assembled a snapshot of Washtenaw County's 2016 Construction Season. This list includes projects from the Washtenaw County Road Commission; MDOT; Cities of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dexter, and Saline.  Details include project dates, extents, and detour information.

Please contact WATS or the implementing agency with any questions or concerns about traffic impacts.  This map was initially produced for MDOT's annual Traffic Summit, which coordinates the upcoming construction season to mitigate traffic impacts. WATS will update this map with new information as it becomes available.

“It's no secret that cycling makes you fitter. It also sharpens your thinking and melts away stress. Now researchers are discovering why—and exactly how you can maximize the cognitive benefits of a good ride.”  Selene Yeager reports in Bicycling about how that bicycling trip you are taking is improving your memory, reasoning, and planning. 

With Spring around the corner ArborBike is a great way to achieve this invigoration and activity.  ArborBike plan to reopen for the cycling season in March bike stations throughout University of Michigan campus and downtown Ann Arbor and economic memberships programs.  To find the bike station nearest you go to arborbike.org 

CMAQ funds target improvements to traffic operations and air quality by funding projects that reduce congestion.  Eligible projects include roadway infrastructure as well as public transit enhancements.
