Location
The culvert system carries a branch of Denomie Creek under US 2 northwest of the highway's intersection with WIS 169 in Ashland County.
Overview
The culvert system is reaching the end of its service life. To address that, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to:
- Replace the existing culvert system with a 60-inch concrete culvert
- Grade ditches and restore slopes
- Complete erosion control measures
- Replace guardrail
Real Estate
Temporary and permanent land acquisition are needed to complete this project.
In This Together
Knowing construction projects impact businesses, WisDOT has created the In This Together program to help business owners navigate construction.
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled to begin in 2028.
Traffic Impacts
During construction, US 2 will be closed to traffic at the culvert.
- Through traffic will be detoured via WIS 13 and WIS 77.
- Access to homes and businesses in the work zone will be maintained.
