Traffic Impacts

The highway will remain open during construction; however, the westbound traffic will be crossed over to the eastbound lanes where one lane will be maintained for each direction. During construction on WIS 97, the roadway will be closed, and a posted detour will be provided. Westbound entrance and exit ramps for WIS 29 at WIS 97 and County H will also experience closures.

Real Estate

No real estate acquisition​​ is expected.
