    The existing pavement on this segment of US 2 is showing signs of distress. To address this and other issues, WisDOT is proposing:

  • Resurfacing the 0.8 mile of asphaltic pavement.
  • Replacing curb and gutter.
  • Extending sidewalk.
  • Upgrading curb ramps to meet Americans With Disabilities Act standards.

Construction currently is scheduled for 2025. During construction, US 2 will remain open to traffic, but motorists can expect single-lane closures and flagging operations.
