The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will hold a public information meeting for the bridge replacement project located at Dexter-Pinckney Road over Portage Lake Outlet in Dexter Township. The public information meeting will be held in the Dexter Township Hall, 6880 Dexter-Pinckney Road from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18
The existing bridge on Dexter-Pinckney Road has been awarded funding for replacement through the Michigan Department of Transportation Local Bridge Program. Construction is currently scheduled to take place in the summer of 2010. The meeting will include a brief presentation at 6 p.m. and will be followed by an open house format, providing individual citizens with the opportunity to discuss the proposed project with WCRC staff and the WCRC design consultant.

Correction
Regarding a story in our Aug. 7 edition, the Yankee Air Museum does not offer free rides in their B-17 and B-25 aircraft to World War II veterans; the cost is $425 just like other passengers, but veterans do receive a medal and certificate of appreciation for their military service at no charge.
