Traffic Lanes to Be Closed for Work

Expect slowgoing traffic as the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) continues work on a 7.4-mile section of Highway 42/57 from Bayview Bridge to the intersection of the two roads just north of Sturgeon Bay.

WisDOT reports that the contractor began work on Aug. 11, and since has finished the concrete joint repair and concrete replacement work along the inside lane of Hwy. 42/57 northbound and southbound; they completed traffic signal work at the intersections of Ashland Avenue and South Neenah Avenue; and they began installing new signs.

This week the contractor will continue to install new signs, and work will begin on the 42 northbound turn lane onto 57 northbound.

Traffic on Hwy. 42/57 northbound and southbound will be reduced to one lane in each direction. The lane closures will be limited to a maximum of three miles in length and will occur between the 42/57 intersection and the Bayview Bridge.

These restrictions are expected to remain in effect until late September. Total cost of the project is $1.3 million.
