Project Overview
The purpose of the proposed project is to preserve the function, operation and safety of WIS 49 from Cedar Road to Lake View Road (project 6270-00-07) and from Lake View Road to WIS 66 (project 6270-00-08). The proposed action is needed to address the deteriorating pavement condition and deficient drainage facilities along WIS 49.
- From Cedar Road to Lake View Road, the proposed work consists of milling 4-inches from the existing pavement structure and overlaying with 4-inches of new asphalt pavement. Additionally, the existing paved shoulders would be widened to 3-feet. Secondary work would include replacing culvert pipes, cleaning culvert pipes, ditching and other incidentals.
- From Lake View Road to WIS 66, the proposed project consists of milling 2.5-inches from the existing pavement structure and overlaying with 3.5-inches of new asphalt pavement. Additionally, the existing paved shoulders would be widened to 3-feet.
