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.

- Adjusting or replacing guardrail.
- Upgrading pedestrian curb ramps and traffic signals.
- Upgrading the WIS 25 intersection at the County BB north junction by:
- Adding left-turn lanes on WIS 25.
- Adjusting the angle of the intersections.
- Extending drainage pipes.
- Updating pavement markings and the traffic island.
- Upgrading the WIS 25 intersection at the County BB south junction by:
- Adding left-turn lanes on WIS 25.

Business Impacts
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

- At the southern end of the work zone, pedestrians will encounter sidewalk closures, detours and temporary crossings.
