Project location

WIS 131 (County A to Hiawatha Avenue), south of Tomah - Monroe County

Project overview

The project on WIS 131 will consist of a combination of a mill then a mill and relay of existing pavement followed by an asphalt overlay. A single lane concrete roundabout is proposed at the WIS 131 and County A intersection to improve safety. Additional improvements include guardrail replacement, spot culvert pipe replacement, gravel shoulders, centerline rumble strips, and new pavement markings.

Schedule

Traffic impacts/detours

WIS 131 will remain open to traffic with a minimum of one lane in each direction for the first three stages of work at the County A roundabout. This will be the majority of the construction schedule. During the fourth stage of work, WIS 131 will need to be closed and detoured to complete construction of the County A roundabout. The detour would utilize WIS 71 and I-90. Traffic on County A will be maintained during stage 1, closed to the west during stage 2, closed to the east during stage 3 and fully closed during stage 4.
