The sight of traffic barrels will be returning to Highway 50 in Wheatland soon, with work starting perhaps as early as Monday.
From a Wisconsin Department of Transportation news release distributed Wednesday:
To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers signed a $6.7 million contract to resurface WIS 50 from Grand Geneva Way in Walworth County, to County Road O in Kenosha County.
Work is scheduled to begin the week of March 28, weather permitting. Payne & Dolan, Inc. is the prime contractor for the project and will implement the following:
Project Improvements
— Resurface eight miles of WIS 50 between Lake Geneva and Wheatland
— Pavement reconstruction from 376th Avenue to 381st Avenue
— New turn-lane construction at 381st Avenue entrance into subdivision
— Traffic signal maintenance at County Road P intersection
— New guardrail, signage and pavement marking within the corridor
What to Expect
— During construction, one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction within segments where work is taking place
— Short-term overnight closures of County Road P at WIS 50 will be required when resurfacing the intersection
— Side roads and driveway access to remain open
Construction is scheduled for completion by this fall. The schedule is dependent on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.
