Location
The 8.5-mile project on WIS 64 begins at WIS 73 in the towns of Ford and Roosevelt and ends at Coyote Drive in the towns of Grover and Maplehurst in Taylor County.
Overview - Updated
The pavement in this segment is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing:
- Pulverizing 6 inches of the existing pavement and base, relaying the pulverized material and placing 4.5 inches of new asphalt pavement for the full travel lane and paved shoulder width and all right-turn and bypass lanes
- Pulverizing 4 inches of the existing pavement and base, relaying the pulverized material and placing 2 inches of new asphalt through the entire wayside
- Completing culvert work, including cleaning, lining, repairing or replacing culverts and cleaning ditches to restore roadway drainage
- Installing centerline rumble strips for the total length of the project
- Removing and replacing all guardrail at the McKenzie Creek Bridge
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2029.
- Construction could occur in 2028 if funding becomes available.
Traffic Impacts
During construction, WIS 64 will be closed to through traffic but will remain accessible to local traffic using flagging. Through traffic will be detoured via WIS 73, WIS 29 and WIS 13.
