County schedules Matlock‑Brady road closure May 12–20 for culvert replacement; detour and signs planned
Summary
Mason County will close Matlock‑Brady Road around milepost 24.61 for a culvert replacement and paving tie‑in during a May 12–20 work window, Public Works told commissioners.
Mason County Public Works told commissioners it plans to close Matlock‑Brady Road (milepost 24.61) for a culvert replacement and paving tie‑in and asked the commission to place the closure on a future action agenda.
Public Works described the work as replacing a 36‑inch pipe with a 16‑foot span to improve fish passage and allow a paving contractor to tie into last year’s work. Staff requested closing the road Monday, May 12 through Tuesday, May 20, estimating a seven‑day work window within that overall period. Detours would run via Boundary Cutoff Road to Deckerville and add approximately a few miles to local trips, staff said. Outreach will include reader boards and posted notices ahead of the work.
Why it matters: The closure supports culvert replacement to improve fish passage and regional road conditions; commuters and commercial traffic should expect a short detour while work proceeds.
Commissioners also approved staff outreach and asked Public Works to place the closure and associated permit/notice items on the commission’s action agenda for formal authorization. Public Works said it will coordinate timing with paving contractors and will post advance notice signs and electronic reader‑boards to warn commuters.
Ending: Staff said they will present a formal action item at the upcoming meeting and confirmed dates to allow the contractor to complete the culvert and paving tie‑in.
