WisDOT is in the process of developing plans for proposed improvements on 30.4 miles of WIS 180 in Marinette County. The purpose of the website is to provide information regarding the proposed improvements, describe the potential impacts it would have on the community, and offer an opportunity for public comment.
Project location
WIS 180 from WIS 64 to US 141 in Marinette County.
Project need
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region is proposing to improve 30.4 miles of WIS 180 and the replacement of deteriorating culverts.
Proposed improvements
- Removing forty-two deteriorating culverts and replacing with new culverts
- Removing and replacing associated beam guard and pavement at pipe culvert locations
- Minor grading at pipe culvert endwalls
Proposed traffic impacts
The project will be closed to through traffic with detour during culvert replacements. The detour route for culverts south of County X will utilize US 141 and WIS 64. The detour route for culverts north of County W will utilize US 141 and County X.
Schedule
The improvement project is currently scheduled for 2026 construction.
Access to adjacent properties and for first responders will be maintained during construction. Brief interruptions in access may occur temporarily at driveways. The contractor will be required to notify homeowners and businesses prior to construction.
Real estate
Minor right-of-way acquisition will be required at select culvert replacement locations.
In This Together program for businesses
WisDOT recognizes businesses located in work zones have special needs. It's critical that customers have access to businesses and that they continue to visit them, regardless of any road work inconvenience. WisDOT's In This Together program is offered to business and community leaders as an idea source as they plan for road construction in their area. On the
In This Together website, businesses can find:
- Specially designed
Business Coordination Guide for businesses to succeed during a highway construction project, includes information on:
- Planning ahead
- Staying informed
- Keeping customers informed
- Tips for businesses
- Case studies that demonstrate techniques that have been successfully used in communities throughout Wisconsin.
- Promotional samples showing a variety of examples of how businesses have promoted their businesses during construction.
During construction, temporary signing for business will be available. While signing and other marketing/advertising during the construction is up to the business, WisDOT encourages businesses to use the resources above to assist them with planning for construction before the construction begins.
