WIS 40 (WIS 64 East to the Chippewa/Rusk County line), town of Bloomer to town of Sampson - Chippewa County

Location

WIS 40 from WIS 64 East to the Chippewa/Rusk County line.

Overview

The asphaltic pavement in this segment of WIS 40 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other needs, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to:

  • Remove a portion of the existing pavement, recycle it in place and then placing new asphalt over the roadway.
  • Install centerline and edge line rumble strips.
  • Clean, clear, repair or replace culverts.
  • Place new pavement markings.

Schedule - Updated

Construction is currently scheduled for 2032.

  • Construction could be advanced to 2028 if funding becomes available.

Traffic Impacts

During construction, WIS 40 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter daytime single-lane closures controlled by flagging operations.
