Construction Update WIS 20

Work is ongoing in the county line area with paving set for next week. The work in town should mostly be wrapped up next week that we can start removing some drums and barrels and move into the winter configuration.

 

Some less good news – the anticipated re-opening of WIS 20 between County L and WIS 83 has been moved back to early/mid-November as we discovered a culvert on WIS 20 that has partially collapsed just east of Carver School Rd. To fix/complete this work we will have to close WIS 20 at Carver School for about a week while setting up a local detour so residence and customers can go around. With WIS 20 currently detoured and water levels very low, the replacement will be easiest/most productive to do so now rather than test the spring rains and snow melt. The work is slated to being Monday November 4th and I’ll send out more information as I have it.  

 

East Troy – WIS 20/County ES intersection

  1. Finish up the concrete islands in the intersection

 

WIS 20 – Bell School Road to Honey Creek Rd (County Line area)

  1. This part of the project will decide when we are able to re-open WIS 20 between East Troy and Waterford. Below are the remaining operations that need to occur.
    1. Remove the top 2” of roadway and place new asphalt back down – Scheduled for Monday-Thursday
    2. Install new guardrail along the north side of WIS 20 (the Honey Creek side) – Scheduled for Thursday/Friday
    3. Install Rumble Strips, Pavement Markings, and Signage (Week of 10/28 but weather dependent)

 

WIS 20 from County L to WIS 83 (minus the County Line area)

  1. Complete most everything we can ahead of the other areas so when the longer duration sections become available, we can turn things around faster. Most of this stretch looks finished, but since we cannot reopen WIS 20 until the county line area is completed it will look like not much else is happening.
