WIS 35 (County B South to 69th Street) - Douglas County

Location

The project is on WIS 35 from County B South in the town of Superior and 69th Street in the village of Superior, all in Douglas County.

Overview

The pavement on this 8.5-mile segment of WIS 35 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing:

  • Resurfacing the pavement
  • Replacing concrete bridge approach slabs as needed
  • Replacing guardrail
  • Replacing select culverts and cleaning and repairing others where required
  • Replacing curb and gutter at spot locations
  • Repairing the Black River Bridge
  • Replacing pavement approximately 200 feet south of the Nemadji River Bridge
  • Replacing locations of centerline and shoulder rumble strips
  • Installing new pavement markings
  • Upgrading at-grade railroad crossing and clearing vison triangles as needed
    • The railroad will complete the crossing work during construction.

The project is anticipated to take fo​ur to five months to construct.

Real Estate

Temporary easements are anticipated for culvert replacements.

​Schedule

Construction currently is scheduled for 2029.

Traffic Impacts

During construction, WIS 35 will be closed and detoured for some operations and open for others.
  • Detours will be implemented during the railroad crossing replacement, paving operations and culvert replacements between County B (east) and County C (east).
    • Railroad detour: County C, County A, 42nd Avenue, 18th Street, 39th Avenue and US 2/53
    • Paving and culvert detour: County B (east), County A and County C (east)
  • The culvert replacement north of the Pattison State Park entrance will occur under single-lane conditions with temporary widening and flagging. Lane widths will be reduced.
  • Work on the Black River Bridge will occur under single-lane conditions with temporary signals to control traffic.
  • Local and emergency access will be maintained to adjacent properties throughout construction.
