Overview
WisDOT North Central Region is currently developing plans to improve WIS 13, between South County N (Monroe Street) in the city of Colby and Pine Street in the city of Abbotsford, Marathon County.
The proposed improvements include resurfacing the roadway by milling the top layer of asphalt pavement and applying a new surface layer of hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Gravel shoulders will be reshaped and restored to meet the resurfaced shoulder pavement. Pedestrian curb ramps that do not meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards will be replaced.
Traffic impacts
The traffic management plan is being developed, however motorists can expect single lane closures or flagging operations on WIS 13 with at least one lane remaining open to traffic in each direction. The WIS 29 on and off ramps will be closed overnight while paving the intersections. Traffic will be detoured via WIS 97 and WIS 153. Temporary pedestrian accommodations or staged curb ramp construction will be utilized to maintain pedestrian traffic.
