To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers has approved a $2.8 million resurfacing and improvement project along WIS 50 in Walworth County. Payne and Dolan is the prime contractor for the project. Work is scheduled to begin September 2.
Improvements Include:
This project will make improvements to approximately 3.7 miles of WIS 50, between WIS 67 and Lake Lawn Drive. Improvements include:
- Remove and replace asphalt pavement
- Upgraded traffic signals
- Upgraded pedestrian accommodations
- Storm sewer cleaning and repairs
- New guardrail over Delavan Lake Inlet bridge
- New pavement markings and signing
Traffic Impacts:
WIS 50, between WIS 67 and Lake Lawn Drive, will be closed to through traffic. Access to businesses and residents along WIS 50 will be maintained.
A signed detour will utilize WIS 67 and I-43 to get around the closure.
Schedule:
This project is scheduled for completion by mid-fall 2025. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
