Project location

US 151 (Beaverland Parkway to Hemlock Road), Beaver Dam - Dodge County

Project overview

The purpose of this project is to address the current cable guard condition on US 151. The median cable barrier was installed along US 151 from Beaverland Parkway to Hemlock Road is 2008, and a portion within these limits was replaced in 2013. Both cable guard installations are inadequate and face concerns related to the materials used and the installation technique.

Improvements include:

  • Replacing existing cable guard between Beaverland Parkway and Hemlock Road
  • Widening median crossovers
  • Existing grades beyond new cable guard placement will be checked to ensure proper grading requirements are met
