Project location
WIS 80 (Baraboo River West Branch to County C), Hillsboro - Vernon & Richland Counties
Project overview
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is preparing plans to resurface the existing pavement of approximately 11.7 miles of WIS 80 between the South Fork Baraboo River Structure and County C in Vernon County and Richland County, Wisconsin. The purpose of the proposed project is to preserve and improve this WIS 80 roadway segment. The proposed resurfacing of WIS 80 will increase the longevity of the roadway and the safety of the traveling public.
Improvements include:
- Pavement resurfacing (milling 2-inches of existing pavement and overlaying with 3.5-inches of Hot Mix Asphalt pavement)
- Replacing existing guardrail, pavement marking, rumble strips, and other incidentals
- Grading work will be necessary at the guardrail replacement locations for end terminal grading
Proposed structure work consists of the rehabilitation of 9 structures.
The work at each structure is as follows:
- WIS 80 bridge over Pine River: Concrete bridge deck overlay, concrete surface repair to piers, slab fascia, and abutments.
- WIS 80 bridge over Melancthon Creek: Headwall repair/replacement and slope improvements.
- WIS 80 bridge over Melancthon Creek: Concrete surface repair and slab drip edge repair.
- WIS 80 bridge over Melancthon Creek: Concrete bridge deck overlay, fascia girder replacement, parapet replacement.
- WIS 80 bridge over Hanzel Creek: Concrete bridge deck overlay and concrete surface repairs.
- WIS 80 bridge over Melancthon Creek: Wing wall repair and channel cleaning.
- WIS 80 bridge over South Branch Baraboo River: Concrete bridge deck overlay, curb repair, concrete surface repair, and scour repair.
- Culvert WIS 80 over Flowing Stream: Drop inlet protection fence repair and scour repair.
