Overview - Updated
The asphalt pavement on this section of US 45 and ramps on and off WIS 54 are showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, WisDOT is proposing to:
- Remove all pavement and pave the roadway with 7 to 7.5 inches of new asphalt, keeping the current 12-foot lanes, 3-foot paved shoulders and 7-foot gravel shoulders.
- Remove a portion of the pavement at the New London park and ride lot in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of US 45, WIS 15 and County T (Mill Street) and place new asphalt pavement.
- Clean 16 culvert pipes and make repairs to culvert inlets.
- Make spot curb and gutter repairs.
- Install centerline rumble strips and new pavement markings.
- Replace guardrail.
- Installing a roundabout at the US 45/County D intersection in New London between Church and Givens roads.
The project is anticipated to be constructed with another project in the New London area on WIS 54 from West Jeanne Street to County S.
Traffic Impacts
The project will be constructed utilizing a signed detour following WIS 96 and WIS 76.
Real Estate
Right of Way will be acquired at the intersection of US 45 and County D for the roundabout along with the Temporary Limited Easements at the same intersection for construction.
