Hurray for Mayfield Township! They are partnering with the Road Commission to improve three gravel roads in their township for nearly four miles in length. Bancroft Road is complete and Elliott and Rahe Roads are currently underway. Mayfield is purchasing the gravel and our crews and equipment are being utilized to place the gravel, work into the existing road base, shape up the road and then compact it. A win-win for both agencies and all those who travel these roads.
Paradise Township just agreed to team up with us to have 0.7 mile of Kingsley Road graveled!
