Seasonal Roads
Attention Property Owners
Act 51, Public Acts of 1951, provides
for a county road commission to
establish a seasonal road system which
would not be provided with winter
maintenance activity in the months of
November, through April.
The seasonal road system was established
in order to preserve financial resources
for winter maintenance on roads, which
genuinely serve the needs of permanent
residents of Houghton County.
Roads which are placed on this system
usually have one or more of the
following conditions:
1. Questionable jurisdiction,
2. Little or no vehicle traffic during
the winter months,
3. No permanent residences,
4. Grade variations, concealed
obstructions, poor road alignment and
poor topographical characteristics which
would damage road commission equipment
if serviced.
A map showing the seasonal road system
in Houghton County is available for
inspection at the office in Ripley or by
clicking here.
Also available, are the complete
applicable laws with Michigan Department
of Transportation rules and the process
for changing a road to all season status
if someone would desire to establish a
permanent residence on one of these
roads.
