- Replacing or lining culverts
- Cleaning ditches
- Upgrading sidewalk curb ramps in Glenwood City to meet Americans With Disabilities Act standards
- Replace guardrail
In addition, the railroad plans to complete work at the rail crossing between 170th and 175th avenues.
Real Estate
Minor real estate acquisitions are anticipated for this project.
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2028.
Traffic Impacts
During culvert replacement and railroad crossing work, WIS 128 will be closed for approximately six weeks.
- Through traffic will be detoured via WIS 170, WIS 79 and WIS 64.
- During this time, access will be maintained to businesses and residences in the work zone.
Remaining work - including shoulder widening, milling and overlaying the pavement and upgrading guardrail - will be completed using single-lane closures controlled by flaggers.
