Washtenaw County's roads are in poor condition, says Terri Blackmore, executive director of the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study - and there won’t be enough money to fix them all.

"Even with all of the money we plan to spend on pavement, we'll still have about 50 percent of our pavement in poor condition,” she recently told AnnArbor.com when WATS released a new long-range plan that spells out $3 billion worth of transportation improvements that will be funded through 2035.

Listed in the plan are nearly 800 deficiencies representing an estimated $1.6 billion worth of unfunded transportation needs.

Below is a map from WATS showing the deteriorating roads in Washtenaw County. Roads shown in red are classified as “poor.” The map only highlights county roads that are eligible for federal aid. It does not include local roads.
