Groveland Twp.- The ride through the township is going to be just a little smoother later this summer.
On July 8, a 4.09 mile segment of Grange Hall Road from Dixie Highway to Jossman Road will be resurfaced with one and one-half inches of asphalt.
The road shoulder will also be expanded to three feet in many locations and gravel added.
The three-week project, at an estimated cost of $750,000, is possible by a disbursement of federal stimulus funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, according to Road Commission for Oakland County highway maintenance staff engineers.
Oakland County officials say that about $50 million in stimulus money has been earmarked for road projects in the county since the projects were announced last year.
President Barack Obama inked a $787 billion stimulus plan in early 2009 designed to revive the economy and save millions of jobs.
