Location
This project on WIS 25 runs from the I-94 bridge in Menomonie north to County D in the town of Tainter, all in Dunn County.
Overview
The existing pavement WIS 25 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the WisDOT project will include:
- Removing a portion of the existing pavement from the bridge over I-94 to the railroad bridge and placing new asphalt pavement.
- Recycling a portion of the existing pavement, mixing it with a stabilizing agent, relaying it and placing new asphalt from the railroad bridge to County D.
- Adjusting or replacing guardrail.
- Upgrading pedestrian curb ramps and traffic signals.
- Making the following upgrades at the WIS 25 intersections at the County BB north and south junctions to improve safety:
- Adding left-turn lanes on WIS 25.
- Adjusting the angle of the intersection.
- Extending drainage pipes.
- Updating pavement markings and the traffic island.
Real Estate
Additional right of way will be required to make the County BB intersections improvements and upgrade pedestrian curb ramps. View a landowners' rights brochure in English, Hmong and Spanish.

WisDOT understands that improvement projects can create logistical challenges for businesses of all shapes and sizes, and to help business owners navigate those challenges, WisDOT offers the In This Together program, which includes tips, tools and resources to help businesses plan for highway construction projects.
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2026.
Traffic Impacts
During construction, WIS 25 is expected to remain open to traffic, but:
- Motorists will encounter single-lane closures controlled by flagging and shoulder closures.
- Pedestrians to encounter sidewalk closures, detours and temporary crossings at the southern end of the work zone.
