The Mason County Road Commission and Hamlin Township will be overseeing
the reconstructing of the structure on N. Lakeshore Drive at the S. Bayou of Hamlin Lake.
The existing culvert was designed by R.E. Lunde in the fall/winter of 1974. Based
on sketches and field notes the project was constructed in the winter/spring of 1975.
According to the records, the multi-plate metal arch culvert is a 15’-3” span by 9’-4” rise
approximately 30’ in length. The steel sheet pile retaining wall is comprised of
approximately 228 linear feet of 15’ long sheets. The existing culvert is almost 50 years
old and is in very poor condition.
Hardman Construction, Inc. is the prime Contractor for this estimated $819,369
project. The existing metal culvert will be replaced with a 10’ x 10’ x 33’ long concrete
box culvert. There is approximately 212 linear feet of new steel sheeting that will be
installed with this project. The project is funded by the MCRC and Hamlin Township.
The project is anticipated to start next week after September 3, 2024 (Labor Day
Holiday) and the roadway will be open to traffic by November 8, 2024. The entire
project will be completed by November 26th, 2024. Lakeshore Drive from Neil Road
north approximately 350’ will be closed to all traffic during this project. All Lakeshore
Drive traffic north of the S. Bayou will need to take the detour route.
On behalf of the Mason County Road Commission and Hamlin Township, we
appreciate your cooperation during the project.
