Bay County, MI — Highway Permit - Closing A County Highway, Road Or ROW Bond

Tell the Bay County Road Commission why the road must close, which segment is affected and when it will reopen. Construction closures and parade or celebration closures have different supporting requirements. Have the Commission confirm the specific bond request; its published event insurance requirement is not a bond amount.

What this bond does

Security specifically requested for the authorized closure of a Bay County, Michigan road or right-of-way, once the Commission identifies the accepted instrument.

Who needs it
The responsible construction permit holder or eligible event applicant, as assigned for the actual closure—not automatically any contractor working nearby.
Who it protects
The accepted security concerns the stated closure conditions and related public-way obligations. It does not permanently abandon the road or replace required liability insurance.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Explain why the road is closing

For construction, the published rules address traffic control, approved detours and notice to the Board, emergency agencies and school transportation before a proposed closing. Give the Commission the affected road limits, access arrangements and closure/reopening times.

For a parade, celebration or festival, the rules separately identify municipal and civic-group/organization applicants and require a local city, village or township resolution of support. They describe event eligibility, traffic arrangements and insurance. Do not assume those event provisions are the same as construction-closure conditions.

Road abandonment is listed separately in the Commission's current schedule. Temporary closure permission does not establish a permanent change in public access rights.

Confirm closure security before selecting the form

The current schedule lists liability insurance for road-closure/parade permits; it does not establish that coverage as a surety bond sum. The separately published general work bond also does not by itself confirm the exact Closing A County Highway, Road or ROW instrument. Ask the permit agent for the closure's actual security request.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the Commission's required form, applicant/Board recipient, assigned sum and dates with the issuer, arrange execution and accepted filing, and obtain the actual Oxcart permit.

Keep closure approval, traffic setup, notices and reopening/restoration records. Ask the Commission what inspection or release is required after reopening; neither buying security nor removing the barricades automatically ends an accepted bond's obligations.

Questions about this bond

Is event liability coverage the bond amount?

No. The schedule identifies insurance for the event-closure permit. Obtain the Commission's separate bond request and required instrument, if applicable.

Can an event application replace a construction closure permit?

Do not assume so. The rules describe event eligibility and supporting resolutions separately from construction traffic and notification conditions.

Does a closure permit permanently close the public road?

No permanent abandonment is established by temporary closure permission. The Commission lists road abandonment separately; confirm the actual approval needed.
