Traffic Impacts

Work is proposed to be completed under single lane closures along US 51, WIS 29 and along the interchange crossroads at County N, County NN, Sherman Street, WIS 52 and Bridge Street. During work on interchange ramps, ramp closures will be required. Detours will be posted for WIS 29 and WIS 52 ramp closures.

WisDOT's Design-Build Program is a collaborative contracting process that brings the engineering and construction industries together at the outset of a highway improvement project. Traditionally in Wisconsin, these processes have always been separated, where a designer plans the project and a construction company will then execute on those plans.
