Phase 6: Construct project

A pre-construction meeting is held with the contractor, local utilities, Department of Natural Resources and local government officials.

WisDOT works with property owners and meets with local businesses and contractors throughout construction. WisDOT ensures all prior commitments to landowners, such as access to homes and businesses, are fulfilled.

Citizens are kept informed of construction progress through meetings and news releases sent to local media. Web sites, project newsletters and brochures are developed for larger projects.

When requested by local officials, completion of a major project may be celebrated with a ribbon cutting.

The roadway is inspected every two years to monitor its condition.
