Dan Watkins, the road commission manager, reported that the Hammond Road project in Grand Traverse County encountered multiple surprises, including unknown underground utilities and water issues, which caused delays. Despite these issues, crews began laying the first layer of asphalt, with the road expected to reopen around November 7, though rain could alter that timeline. The project involves laying over five inches of asphalt.
