WIS 105 (Unnamed tributary to the Pokegama River), city of Superior - Douglas County

Location

The project involves work at an unnamed tributary to the Pokegama River in the Douglas County city of Superior.

Overview

The culvert at this location is undersized. To address this and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to:

  • Remove the existing culvert and replace it with a new structure.
    • The new structure is expected to be a bridge.
  • Replace pavement approaching the new structure.
  • Repair slopes disturbed by construction.

Schedule

  • Construction currently is scheduled for 2026.

Traffic Impacts

During construction:

  • A bypass for light-weight vehicles will be constructed on the south side of the new structure.
  • Truck traffic will be detoured via MN 23, I-35, US 2 and WIS 35.
