Sparta Township: 2021 Township Micro Surfacing Road Improvement Program

Press release from the Sparta Township:

July 9, 2021

Sparta Township evaluates the condition of its road system on an annual basis as part of its ongoing roadway maintenance program. The Engineering Department and Public Works Department work together to assess the condition of all roads throughout the Township and compile a list of municipal roads recommended for improvement on a yearly basis. Using various criteria and a rating matrix, selected roads are either paved or scheduled for microsurfacing. This evaluation process is applied to the more than 110 miles of roadway the Township is responsible for.

This year, the Township has budgeted funds as part of its Road Improvement Program which would include microsurfacing of eleven (11) roads within the community. This work will result in approximately 4.03 miles of roadway being improved during 2021.

The following roads are tentatively scheduled to be improved starting June 30th and should be completed mid-August depending on weather.

Microsurfacing Road Improvement Program

Within 48 hours of commencing microsurfacing roadwork, residents will receive notification to stay off roadway. Inclement weather may postpone work to the following work day.
