Release Date: October 15, 2021
(Kewaunee) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region announces completion of all major construction on two WIS 42 improvement projects in Kewaunee County. One project took place on WIS 42 north of the city of Kewaunee and the another project took place south of the city of Kewaunee.
Construction on a $5.1 million contract to improve 9.9 miles of WIS 42 from the south Kewaunee/Manitowoc County line to Baumeister Drive in the city of Kewaunee began June 1, 2021 and finishes on time and on budget. Work included resurfacing of the existing pavement, replacing two deteriorating box culvert (one near Lakeview Drive and another near County J) under the roadway, replacement/repair of various culvert pipes, widening of paved shoulders, rumble strip installation, and upgrades to guard rail, pavement parking and storm sewer.
Construction on a $3.7 million contract to improve 14 miles of WIS 42 from Duvall Street in the city of Kewaunee to the North Kewaunee/Door County Line began August 23, 2021 and finishes on time and on budget. Work included resurfacing of the existing lanes and shoulders, widening of paved shoulders, rumble strip installation, upgrades to guard rail and pavement marking.
The projects provide a smoother driving surface for motorists and extend the life of the existing pavement. Upgrades to guard rail and the addition of centerline and edge line rumble strips enhance safety. Culvert repair/replacement provide longer lasting structures to provide adequate drainage.
Northeast Asphalt, Inc. from Greenville, Wis. was the Prime Contractor for both projects.
