County Employees Complimented for Road Work
To the Editor:

The recently completed Pte. Brulee Road project has been a challenging job. A road that leads south from M-134, west of Hessel, where Steele Creek crosses and starts at Morgan Springs, drains a huge area, with spring run-off. Water used to rise above the road, climbing as high as two feet. And frost, when leaving the ground, was like driving on chewing gum.

On hearing that Mackinac County Road Commission had just completed tar and chipping Pte. Brulee, and being a member of our local road committee, I wanted to see what our voted road millage had accomplished.

Riding with me was a man that has worked with companies that specialize in road building, and I highly respect his opinion.

I noticed the well-crowned road and the smooth surface. No water was going to lay on this road, nor ice during cold weather. There are drainage ditches, and water can now get to the ditches.

I thought to myself, "This is a beautiful road." My passenger said, "They did a beautiful job."

"Yes," I said. "I give them an Aplus."

Whether you know it or not, Mackinac County road employees are improving their skills. Running equipment like a grader takes many hours of hands-on experience.

Pte. Brulee Road is by far the best road ever built by our County in Clark Township.

To our many Mackinac County Road employees, as this is a team effort from the top to the bottom. I commend you for such a beautiful road.
