Schedule

Traffic impacts/Detours

  • Traffic will be maintained to allow one lane in each direction, except a short-term detour on WIS 54 westbound from US 12 to 8th St.
    • That detour, while not scheduled yet, will last about three weeks with traffic detoured along US 12 to County A to 8th St.
  • Traffic may encounter brief periods of single lane closures with flagging crews to allow crews to work in tight intersection areas.
  • Traffic updates will be posted on this page throughout the project.
