Monroe County Road Commission

Monroe County Road Commission The first meeting of the Board of County Road Commissioners of the County of Monroe was held on May 8, 1913.

The MCRC vows to provide quality, courteous and dependable professional services through innovative, cost-effective ways to maintain our road system through transparency, trust and collaboration between citizens, businesses and government. Public Act 283 of the Public Acts of 1909, particularly Chapter IV titled, "County Road Law" was the basic legislation by which county road commissions were est

ablished. Following an election by the people, a County Road system was authorized and the County Board of Road Commissioners was organized in 1913 in accordance with provision of Act Number 283 of Public Acts of 1909, as amended. Public Act 130 of the Public Acts of 1931 is the Act by which the County Road Commissioners took jurisdiction of all public roads within the county, then existing, which had not theretofore taken into the county road system. By the terms of this act, on April 1, 1936, all roads within the county laying outside the Municipal Corporate Limits of cities and villages became county roads. Public Act 51 of the Public Acts of 1951 may generally be described as the funding Act of County Road Commissions. Within this Act is found the method for defining, "primary roads and local roads". Likewise, the formula for distribution of gas and weight taxes, along with licensing fees is set forth. The Road Commission receives the bulk of the monies required to perform its duties regarding the maintenance of county roads from the foregoing source. It should be noted that the county has no jurisdiction over state trunk line highways.

Advance Roadwork Notice:
The MCRC will be applying microsurfacing to Lewis Avenue between the state line and Sterns Road on Wednesday, August 19. This is the second step of the cape seal process for this stretch of road.

Microsurfacing is a preventive maintenance surface treatment designed to extend the life of the pavement.

One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction during the work, but motorists should expect delays when traveling through the work zone.

Please note that any low manhole covers along this section will be adjusted in September, after the microsurfacing has had sufficient time to cure. Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.
