Case Study

Butternut Drive

Michigan Paving and Materials resurfaced 3.47 miles of Butternut Drive in Port Sheldon Township for the Ottawa County Road Commission. The existing 30-foot-wide pavement showed signs of rutting, cracking, and surface wear. Our team was brought in to mill the surface, install new hot mix asphalt, and complete shoulders and striping while minimizing traffic disruptions and maintaining access to homes and businesses.

Project goals

The primary goal was to restore the structural integrity and smoothness of Butternut Drive while keeping the road open and accessible throughout construction. The project aimed to improve safety, extend pavement life, and deliver a smooth driving experience for local residents, commuters, and nearby businesses.

Our approach

The Michigan Paving crew began by cold milling two inches of existing asphalt to remove the worn surface. Once milling was complete, we applied a leveling course followed by a top course using high-quality hot mix asphalt produced at one of our nearby plants. Shoulder gravel and driveway transitions were completed to blend seamlessly with the new pavement. Striping and traffic control were also handled by our team. Efficient scheduling and strong communication helped us stay ahead of schedule without compromising quality.

Results

  • Faster delivery: Completed ahead of the 4-week schedule with minimal disruptions.

  • Smooth finish: Enhanced ride quality and safety for daily drivers and commercial traffic.

  • Longer lifespan: Durable asphalt mix extends pavement performance and reduces future maintenance.

  • Community satisfaction: Positive feedback from local property owners and daily commuters.
