Current Project Updates

M-21 Chipseal- Begins 8/17/2026

Beginning the week of August 17, the Clinton County Road Commission will be performing chip seal work on M-21 on behalf of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Work will extend from the west Clinton County line to the St. Johns city limits.

The chip seal process is expected to take several days. Additional work will continue the following week to apply a fog seal and restore pavement markings. The schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change. M-21 will remain open to traffic. Flaggers will direct traffic through areas where crews are actively working. Motorists should expect delays and temporary traffic stoppages.

⚠️ Loose stone will be present throughout the project area. Motorists are reminded to slow down, drive with caution, and follow all directions from flaggers. Please do not pass the chip seal operation.

Access to homes and businesses will be maintained throughout the project.  Follow us on Facebook for more details!

Chandler Road Reconstruction- Coleman Rd to State Rd- 6/22/2026

When: Phase 1 – Coleman to State – June 22, 2026 to November 2026
Phase 2 – South of Coleman Road to State – November 2026 to November 2027

What is being done: The Clinton County Road Commission (CCRC), in partnership with Bath Charter Township, will undertake a comprehensive infrastructure improvement project along the Chandler Road corridor. The project includes replacement of the sanitary sewer system, construction of a new sanitary sewer lift station, enclosure of the county
drain from Coleman Road to Hunsaker Road, traffic signal and pedestrian improvements at the Chandler Road and Coleman Road intersection and roadway reconstruction.

Why this is being done: The proposed improvements are necessary to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient travel for all users of the Chandler Road corridor while addressing critical utility infrastructure needs. The existing sanitary sewer system has reached its practical capacity due to continued development within the corridor, and upgrades are needed to accommodate current demands and maintain reliable service for years to come. In addition, portions of the sanitary sewer infrastructure have reached the end of their useful life and require replacement to improve system performance and long-term reliability. The roadway itself is also in need of reconstruction. Existing pavement conditions have deteriorated and no longer provide the level of service expected for a major corridor. Roadway reconstruction, along with associated traffic signals, pedestrian, and drainage improvements, will enhance safety, improve mobility, and provide a more reliable transportation network for residents, businesses, and visitors traveling throughout the Chandler Road corridor.

How will this impact the community: Motorists should anticipate traffic congestion and delays within the project vicinity during construction. Local traffic with a destination within the construction limits will be maintained; however, it may be periodically restricted due to construction activities.
