Roundabout construction projects to begin in St. Croix County

April 18, 2012

A $7 million contract to construct multiple roundabouts on WIS 65 near Roberts is scheduled to begin this week.

The project will improve the intersections of WIS 65 with County G, County TT, 120th/US 12 and 130th/US 12 by constructing modern roundabouts and resurfacing approximately three miles of WIS 65 between 70th Avenue and 130th Street.

Setting up traffic control for the project is underway. Motorists should be aware that beginning next week, all-way stop control will be in place at all the intersections until the new roundabouts are constructed. While the all-way stops will enhance safety for turning drivers during the project, motorists can expect traffic congestion, especially during the peak commuting hours.

Local drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes to bypass the work zones. In addition, local road connections to WIS 65 at County TT west, 120th Street, 130th Street and County G west will be temporarily closed during construction.

The project has a completion date of November 2012.
