Hitchingham Road, located between Textile Road and Stony Creek Road in Ypsilanti Township, will officially reopen around 4 p.m. today, according to the Washtenaw County Road Commission.

The portion of road was closed for the last 5 weeks while the county and township completed a number of improvements including widening and repaving the road, storm sewer construction and the installation and extension of several culverts.

Some construction activities including final roadside restoration and miscellaneous items have yetto be completed. These activities will continue into next week and will be completed under traffic. Workers will be out with flags as needed to maintain two-way traffic.
