Delta Township Resumes Regular Business Hours on Friday, July 31
Delta Township will resume regular business hours on Fridays, beginning this Friday, July 31.

In June, the Township saved more than $200,000 by joining the Michigan Workshare Program where most non-public safety employees were furloughed for a percentage of their time and administration offices were closed on Fridays. The Workshare program helped to offset revenue losses as a result of COVID-19.
I-496 Road Construction Update
The reconstruction of I-496 continues to progress on schedule and freeway work should be completed in November. Reconstruction of eastbound I-496 was completed and re-opened to traffic last week. Westbound I-496 has been closed and reconstruction has begun. During construction, westbound traffic will be detoured to Lansing Rd.

Waverly Road remains under construction and is currently closed to thru traffic. The east half of the road is expected to be paved and re-opened for thru traffic the week of July 27. Work will then begin on the west half of the road. Waverly Road construction is expected to wrap up around Labor Day.

In conjunction with the Waverly Road construction, a new shared use pathway is being built between St. Joe Highway and Old Lansing Road.  The pathway on the east side of Waverly is nearly complete except for the railroad track crossing. Work will begin on the pathway on the west side of Waverly in the coming weeks. While a significant portion of the pathway is constructed, it is not open for use and will remain closed and barricaded at the railroad tracks for safety until it is complete
