Solid and clean country roads

Township workers tackle ditches and drainage problems as part of the continuing task of maintaining safe roads.  

Washington Township maintains just over 40 miles of township roads and rights-of-way. Under the direction of Road Superintendent Ron Frank, township roads and ditches are maintained on a regular basis. Over the past five years the township has maintained a paving program that is eliminating chip and sealed roads which, in turn, results in some of the best township roads in the county. The 2001 summer road program consisted of more than $180,000 of improvements. The 2002 summer road program will consist of more than $150,000 of improvements and will continue with the paving program to eventually eliminate most chip and sealed roads. With your support of our local road levy, additional projects (including pipe replacement and ditch elimination) have been undertaken, and equipment is replaced in a timely manner.
