Construction Begins at Service Center: New Entrance Restrictions

Two major construction projects for Washtenaw County – the expansion of the Jail and the new 14-A1 District Court – will begin Monday, November 3, 2008 at the Washtenaw County Service Center in Pittsfield Township.

Construction Barricade The project is expected to take approximately two years, finishing in the latter half of 2010, and will require some rerouting for agency personnel and the public who use the Service Center.

On Monday, November 3, 2008, the west side of the parking lot at the Service Center (the area closest to the Hogback Road entrance) will be closed and will remain closed until the end of the construction project in 2010.
The Washtenaw Avenue entrance, through St. Luke’s Church parking lot, will be the main entrance to the Service Center throughout the construction project.
The Hogback Road entrance to the Service Center will be closed to all traffic except for the Sheriff’'s Department and other police agencies only.
Parking will still be available at the east end of the lot, closer to the County’s Learning Resource Center, with overflow spaces available in the St. Luke's Church parking lot.

This long awaited large and complex project will encompass two years of construction and involve many contractors accessing the site daily. The County wants to minimize any impact to services at the site and there will be abundant signage to help both vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout this process.
