Yes. The Board of County Road Commissioners can do so under the General Highway Law, MCL 224.18. To relinquish jurisdiction over a road to a township, the Board must 1) adopt a resolution relinquishing jurisdiction and control over the road and 2) publish notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. See MCL 224.18(3); see also MCL 224.18(1). The Township will also be notified directly if the road is adjacent to or ends at a lake or stream. MCL 224.18(5).
