WIS 52, WIS 64 to Piela Lane, Langlade County

Location

WIS 52, WIS 64 to Piela Road, Langlade County

Project Overview

The proposed project will improve 14.7 miles of WIS 52 in Langlade County. The project will address pavement and drainage deficiencies on WIS 52. The existing pavement is showing signs of deterioration and culverts have reached the end of their service life.

Proposed Improvements:

  • Resurface WIS 52 by milling and overlaying the existing asphalt pavement
  • Replace culverts
  • Regrade ditches to improve drainage
  • Update pavement markings

Traffic Impact

WIS 52 will remain open to traffic throughout construction. Crews will manage traffic with flagging operations and shoulder closures. Motorists can expect some delays to occur, but delays will be managed thru limiting contractor operations at critical times.

Real Estate

Additional right of way will be required for this project. Small areas of temporary easements will be required for culvert replacement. Preliminary right of way impacts are shown on the exhibits. WisDOT expects to begin real estate acquisition in Spring 2025.
