MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - The Ingham County Road Department began construction on Bennett Road in mid-July.

The previous asphalt has been removed and two new layers of asphalt will be placed on the road.

According to Project Engineer Dan Troia, there has been minor set backs such as the heavy rain fall that has slowed down the construction process. Based on the contract signed the first layer of asphalt will be complete before the beginning of school.

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of September.
