Location
WIS 121, US 53 North in Pigeon Falls in Trempealeau County to County FF South in the Jackson County town of Northfield.
Overview
The existing pavement overlay is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing:
- Removing a portion of the existing pavement surface and overlaying it with 1.5 inches of asphalt
- Replacing the box culvert carrying May Coulee Creek under WIS 121, along with various other culverts
- Upgrading guardrail
- Upgrading existing sidewalk curb ramps in Pigeon Falls
- Installing centerline rumble strips
- Placing new pavement markings
Real Estate
Permanent right of way and temporary limited easements will be necessary for reconstructing curb ramps and sidewalk and replacing culverts.
- Real estate acquisition is expected to begin in 2025.
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2030.
- Construction could occur as early as 2028 if funding becomes available.
Traffic Impacts
During construction:
- WIS 121 will be closed for the replacement of the structure at May Coulee Creek, with traffic detoured via US 53, US 10 and I-94.
- Motorists will encounter daytime lane closures controlled by flagging for remaining work.
