The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) has announced two informational meetings to share details about upcoming corridor improvements at the Island Lake Road (Dexter Main Street) and the Dexter-Chelsea Road intersection, primarily a projected roundabout planned for 2026.

The busy intersection is also a choke point for traffic during daily rush hours, caused by the nearby narrow stone railroad viaduct, which serves as a main route into the city.

Project Overview

The planned work affects the key Dexter intersection in Scio and Webster Townships and includes scheduled construction of a roundabout in 2026. The improvements are part of a broader effort to address infrastructure needs along a corridor experiencing ongoing development and traffic volume increases.
