WisDOT holding meeting to share details about US 10 project

Proposed work includes resurfacing, paving wider shoulders to improve safety and making improvements to the US 10/WIS 73 North intersection in Neillsville

Release date: March 6, 2025

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is holding a public involvement meeting to share details about a proposed resurfacing project on US 10 from the south leg of WIS 73 in Neillsville east to the Clark/Wood County line.

• When: 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 18
• A brief presentation is planned for 5:30 p.m.
• Where: Neillsville City Hall, 106 W. Division St.

The pavement on US 10 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, WisDOT is proposing to:

• Remove a portion of the existing pavement and place new asphalt pavement over the roadway
• This includes the US 10/WIS 73 South intersection in Neillsville.
• Pave 8-foot shoulders to reduce run-off-the-road crashes
• Three feet of the existing shoulders currently are paved.
• Evaluate the installation of shoulder rumble strips.
• Replace, repair or clean culverts
• In addition, several existing cattle passes are proposed to be removed pending coordination with property owners.
• Replace curb and gutter at rural intersections and place spot locations of curb and gutter in Neillsville
• Replace curb and gutter within the unincorporated community of Lynn and add storm sewer inlets to address drainage near Cunningham Creek
• Replace guardrail and grade side slopes to meet current design standards
• Remove guardrail at the County K intersection
• Delineators are proposed to be installed to define the roadway and access in this area
• Upgrade sidewalk curb ramps in Neillsville
• Replace the traffic signals at the US 10/WIS 73 North intersection in Neillsville and widen the northwest and southwest intersection radii to improve truck movement
• Install new pavement markings and centerline rumble strips

During construction, US 10 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter lane closures controlled by flagging.

Construction currently is scheduled for 2028.
