Governor Evers approves WIS 87 resurfacing project in St. Croix Falls

Contractor to hold business information meeting Aug. 13 at City Hall

To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Gov. Tony Evers has signed a $1.7 million contract with prime contractor Monarch Paving Co. of Amery for a resurfacing project on WIS 87 from US 8 to Minnesota Street, all in the Polk County city of St. Croix Falls. Construction is anticipated to start Monday, Aug. 24.

Monarch Paving is hosting a business information meeting to share details about the scope of the work, schedule and traffic impacts with business owners, city officials and others.

The pavement on this segment of WIS 87 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) project is:

During construction, WIS 87 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter daytime single-lane closures controlled by flagging operations. In addition, eastbound Massachusetts Street will be closed at WIS 87 during portions of curb ramp work. Curb ramp work also will result in signed pedestrian detours. Parking stalls on at least one side of WIS 87 will remain accessible through construction.
