WisDOT seeking public input on WIS 35 resurfacing project

​​Proposed work in Burnett County includes rehabilitating Yellow River Bridge, replacing culverts, upgrading​​​ guardrail and replacing select storm sewer facilities in Webster

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is holding a public involvement meeting to provide information on a proposed improvement project on WIS 35 from County K South in the town of Meenon to the Yellow River Bridge just north of the village of Webster, all in Burnett County.

• When: 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 26
• A presentation is planned for 5:30 p.m.
• Where: Webster Community Center, 7421 Main St. W.

The existing pavement on WIS 35 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, WisDOT is proposing:

• Milling the existing asphalt pavement from County K South to the Yellow River Bridge and placing new asphalt pavement.
• Making spot concrete repairs to the piers and soffit on the Yellow River Bridge just north of Webster.
• Replacing culverts.
  
• Upgrading guardrail to current standards.
• Placing new pavement markings.
• Cleaning ditches.
• Replacing select storm sewer facilities and upgrading existing sidewalk curb ramps to meet current Americans With Disabilities Act standards, all in the village.

During construction, motorists will encounter single-lane closures controlled by flagging or temporary signals.

For those who can't attend the meeting, materials are available on the project website. Comments are being accepted through July 5, 2024, by:
