Brown County
US 41 temporary lanes
Schedule: June to November 2011
Location: Orange Lane – Larson Road
Description: Roadway work includes the excavation and widening of US 41 for future use during the ultimate reconstruction of US 41. Both the inside and outside shoulders will be expanded in the northbound and southbound lanes of US 41 throughout the life of this project. The bridge carrying US 41 southbound traffic over Ninth Street will be widened to accommodate future lanes of traffic and future work on US 41. Temporary crossovers will be constructed for the work at the Ninth Street location in the median of US 41. Work operations will include excavation, base aggregate placement and asphalt paving. Other areas will be milled and resurfaced with asphalt pavement. Other work will include the relocation of signs and the construction of the LED Dynamic Message Sign west of County J on WIS 29.
July 4 – July 10: Crews will be working during night time hours at two locations this week on US 41. One crew will be excavating and placing base course south of Scheuring Road on the outside shoulder in the southbound lanes of US 41. The second crew will be also excavating and placing base course between Lombardi Avenue and Mason Street in the northbound lanes of US 41. Milling of the shoulder in required areas in the southbound and northbound lanes in these same two areas will be done this week as well.
July 11 to July 17: Crews will continue working during night time hours on the outside shoulders on US 41 southbound from Scheuring Road south to Orange Lane. They will also continue working in the northbound lanes of US 41 on the outside shoulder between Lombardi Avenue and Mason Street. Once the excavation and placement of base aggregate is completed in these areas, they will be paved with asphalt pavement. Then the contractor will switch later to the inside shoulder in the same two areas the outside shoulders were completed in and complete the same type of work.
Traffic impacts: Traffic impacts as a result of the implemented traffic control plan include the following:
Single lane closure south of Scheuring Road in the southbound lanes of US 41 from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday nights.
