Location
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is proposing improvements for WIS 124 in Chippewa County from 1,500 feet north of County OO in Lake Hallie to 1,300 feet south of Business 29 in Chippewa Falls.
Overview
The existing roadway is showing signs of deterioration. To address that and other issues, WisDOT is proposing the following:
- Milling existing asphalt pavement and overlaying the road with new asphalt
- Performing spot concrete pavement repairs at the intersections of Park and Woodward avenues
- Upgrading curb ramps, guardrail and pavement markings
- Regrading ditches at select locations
- Lining culvert pipe at select locations.
- Cleaning ditches at select locations.
Traffic Impacts
WIS 124 will remain open during construction with flagging operations and lane closures.
- Very short term access restrictions may be required when crews pave in front of an access point. Property owners will be notified in advance of any restrictions affecting their access.
In This Together
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
