Location
WIS 29 westbound, Clark County Line to County E South, Marathon County
Project Overview
WIS 29 pavement in the westbound lanes from WIS 13 Bridge to County E South is showing signs of deterioration. The existing concrete pavement has longitudinal cracking and joint deterioration. The westbound off ramp at Silver Maple Lane is in poor condition. The existing asphalt shoulders are nearly 30 years old and are in poor condition. Further, the guardrail along this stretch is in need of replacement to update to current standards. Pedestrian curb ramps at WIS 13 will be brought up to standards. Proposed
Work includes:
- Patch deteriorated areas of concrete pavement along the westbound lanes for the project length.
- Replacing the westbound off ramp at Silver Maple Lane with concrete pavement
- Replacing the asphalt shoulders
- Update the guardrail within the project limits
- Evaluate and update the curb ramps along WIS 13 at the westbound WIS 29 ramps
This improvement concept will address the identified issues and extend the pavement service life. The eastbound lanes along this same section were addressed with a construction project in 2020.
Traffic Impacts
WIS 29 will remain open to traffic during construction by utilizing crossovers at each end of the project. One crossover will be just west of the county E south intersection and the second crossover will be just east of the westbound off ramp to WIS 13.
