Project overview

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is in the process of developing Design-Build documents for a proposed structure replacement on WIS 130 south of Lone Rock in Richland, Sauk and Iowa Counties. The southern project limits are approximately 1500 feet west and 200 feet east of the existing intersection of WIS 130 and WIS 133, and the northern project limit is approximately 250 feet north of Brace Memorial Park. The current proposal will replace the three existing structures with two new structures.

Traffic impacts/detours

The existing WIS 130 structures are anticipated to remain open during construction; however, some contractor operations may require the temporary closure of WIS 130. If so, the signed detour route will be as shown below.

  • Detour for eastbound WIS 130:
    • Use US 14/WIS 23
    • Cross Wisconsin River in Spring Green
  • Detour for westbound WIS 130:
    • Use US 14, WIS 60, WIS 80, WIS 133
    • Cross Wisconsin River in Muscoda
  • Detour Map

UPCOMING TRAFFIC IMPACTS:

  • Periodic single lane closures with flagging operations on WIS 130 and WIS 133 for tree clearing operations and mobilizing equipment
  • Please take caution and be aware of trucks entering and exiting the work zone, specifically on WIS 130 at the access points on to Long Island and the north finger
