Payne and Dolan, Inc. is the prime contractor for the project. Work is scheduled to begin September 22.
Improvements:
This project will resurface and make improvements to approximately 0.37 miles of WIS 38. Work on this project will begin when the adjacent WIS 38 bridge project is completed. Improvements include:
- Resurface WIS 38 within project limits

Traffic Impacts:
WIS 38 will be closed to through traffic from Rapids Drive to Golf Avenue.
Posted detour will utilize WIS 31 and County C (Spring Street) to get around the closure.
Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained.
Schedule:
This project is scheduled to take approximately three (3) weeks to complete. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
