The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking public comment on a proposed resurfacing project on WIS 64 from WIS 73 southeast of Gilman east to Coyote Drive in Taylor County.

The public is encouraged to visit the project website, review project details and use the comment form to share their input. Comments are being accepted through June 30 by:

This segment of pavement is showing signs of deterioration. To address that and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing:

• Removing 2 inches of the existing pavement and placing 2 inches of new asphalt pavement for the full travel lane and paved shoulder width and all right-turn lanes and bypass lanes
  
• Resurfacing the wayside rest area by pulverizing and relaying 4 inches of the existing pavement and base and placing 2 inches of new asphalt through the entire wayside
• Completing culvert work, including cleaning, lining, repairing or replacing culverts and cleaning ditches to restore roadway drainage
• Installing centerline rumble strips for the total length of the project
• Removing and replacing all guardrail at the McKenzie Creek Bridge

During construction, WIS 64 will remain open to traffic, but motorists can expect to encounter single-lane and shoulder closures.

Construction currently is scheduled for 2029.
