US 8, Gatewood Heights Road to N Rifle Road, Lincoln and Oneida Counties

Location

US 8, Gatewood Heights Road to N Rifle Road, Lincoln and Oneida Counties

Project Overview

The existing pavement along this segment of US 8 is exhibiting signs of deterioration. Additionally, some culverts were found to be in poor condition. This project involves removing the existing pavement and replacing with a new asphalt surface. Deficient culverts will be cleaned or replaced. A retaining wall east of Wausau Road will receive minor repair work.

Traffic Impact

Traffic will be managed with single lane closures with flagging operations during construction. Motorists can expect minor delays. Any detour route which may be needed for the culvert replacements is being evaluated.

Real Estate

Minor temporary limited easements may be needed to accommodate culvert replacements.
