WIS 187, Outagamie County Line to WIS 156, Shawano County

Location

WIS 187, Outagamie County Line to WIS 156, Shawano County

Project Overview

Proposed improvements include 2-inch asphalt mill and overlay, culvert replacements, pave existing gravel shoulders with asphalt and pavement marking.

Traffic Impacts

During construction, WIS 187 will be open under single lane closures with flaggers. Culvert replacement will require full closure with a detour using WIS 54 to WIS 47 to WIS 156. Local, business and emergency access will be maintained. However, temporary driveway closures will be necessary will construction is occurring directly in front of the driveway. WisDOT will contact homeowners and businesses in advance before closing a driveway.

Real Estate

Minor real estate in the form of temporary easements, permanent easements or fee may be required for culvert replacements throughout the project limits.
