Put the phones down, make sure you’re buckled up, pay attention and really make sure that you stay safe, that the workers stay safe and that those traveling around you are able to stay safe as well.”īelow is a round up from the DOT on the current construction projects in the Northcentral Region. “That really applies to the traveling in general, but particularly in the construction zones. “One of the initiatives that we’re running at the Department of Transportation is our ‘Buckle Up, Phone Down’ initiative,” said Peters. Peters says no matter where you’re encountering construction on your travels slow down and pay attention. There are 69 total DOT projects planned for this season in the North Central region costing about $180 million. If you’re travelling south this summer, there will be major construction in the Stevens Point and Plover areas on I-39 and Hwy 10. There is also a lot of work planned for the Hwy 45 corridor from Antigo north through Vilas County. Other projects underway are Highway 8 in Forest County near the Oneida County border, Hwy 70 in Eagle River between County Road H to Hwy 45, and a culvert replacement on Highway 51 in Vilas County north of County Highway N. But overall, the project is progressing very well and remains on track and on schedule to be wrapped up by early to mid-summer here,” said Jed Peters, DOT’s North Central Region Project Chief. We are expecting some traffic backups, some congestions, or delays as individuals from the southern part of the state work their way up north to the recreational areas in the Rhinelander and Minocqua areas. “Unfortunately, we will have lane closures out there over the Memorial Day weekend.
The current lane closures are expected to stay in place until July 1. There will also be work done the Hwy 64 on-ramp and County K off-ramp.
One of the most heavily trafficked ones is on Highway 51 in Lincoln County.Ĭonstruction crews are paving the section between the Marathon County line to the County K exit in Merrill. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has several major projects underway in the Northwoods.
