Summary

On June 3, 2026, WVBI summarized several Charlevoix County Road Commission activities and notices on Beaver Island. The bulletin reported chloride work on Barney’s Lake Road and Allen’s Lakeview Drive, upcoming paving on Freesoil Avenue and Maple Street, intermittent East Side Drive closures near Welke Airport, and a restriction on using Hangar Road because it crosses an active runway.

The item is a dated public bulletin. It records scheduled work and temporary access conditions, not proof that every listed project was completed. A later Peaine Township supervisor update narrowed the East Side Drive work window and described traffic control, but the held forum record still supplies no final completion report.

Sources

  1. Reports chloride work on Barney’s Lake Road and Allen’s Lakeview Drive, upcoming paving on Freesoil Avenue and Maple Street, intermittent East Side Drive closures between the Four Corners and Welke Airport, and that Hangar Road could not be used because it crosses an active runway. The bulletin reports planned or scheduled work, not completion, final dates, or a full project record.
  2. A first-party supervisor notice says East Side Drive paving was to resume June 23, proceed north-to-south with flaggers, and was expected to finish July 2. It is a contemporaneous operational update, not proof of final completion.
