To invest in Wisconsin's transportation system, Governor Evers signed a $8.6 million contract to improve WIS 13, between WIS 98 in the village of Spencer and County N in the city of Colby, Marathon County. Work is scheduled to begin in spring of 2024.
Michels Road and Stone is the prime contractor for the project. Work includes completing concrete joint repairs and replacements, replacing the asphalt shoulders, replacing guardrail, inlet and manhole repairs as needed, new pavement markings and replacing curb ramps that are not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
Construction on WIS 13 will have a number of stages with different impacts to traffic. Motorists can expect single lane closures, flagging operations and full road closures with posted detour routes during construction. When necessary, posted detour routes will utilize WIS 97, WIS 153 and WIS 29 at various times during the project. Temporary pedestrian accommodations will be provided during removal and replacement of the existing sidewalk.
Construction is scheduled for completion by fall 2024. The schedule is dependent on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.
