Location
WIS 13, 2nd Street North to County P, Rudolph, Wood and Portage counties.
Overview
The asphalt is showing signs of significant deterioration in the form of cracking and rutting. The existing shoulders are narrow and many of the existing culverts are in poor condition. The existing guardrail at Mill Creek Crossing does not meet current standards and the existing polymer overlay is deteriorated.
The purpose of this project is to:
- Reduce future pavement repairs and maintenance costs
- Improve ride quality
- Extend the life of the bridge deck on structure crossing Mill Creek
- Maintain drainage across the roadway
- Increase safety by improving pavement surface drainage, addressing the narrow shoulders and substandard guardrail features.
Traffic Impacts
WIS 13 will be closed during construction with a signed detour (detour route to be determined).
Real Estate
Property acquisition (FEE) and temporary limited easements (TLE) are necessary for widening the shoulder width by 2-ft and re-ditching.
