Clark County to See Long List of Road Construction Projects this Summer
Thursday, February 27th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM
This summer Clark County will see a significant amount of construction activity.
Clark County, along with WisDOT, have allocated a significant amount of funding for construction and infrastructure projects for the 2025 construction season.
Residents of the locations of the upcoming 2025 highway and bridge improvements projects need to be aware of these projects. This initiative is aimed at improving the condition of our highways and ensuring safety for the traveling public.
Clark County is fortunate to have received the funding to complete these needed projects. Financial and construction planning often align with the summer weather months allowing for efficient project execution to maximize productivity and complete a quality project in a timely manner.
Due to Wisconsin’s short construction season these project timelines require overlap, resulting in several projects being worked on at the same time. Construction timelines are also set by the awarded contractor on the individual projects.
The traveling public will experience construction activities including milling, pulverizing, paving, application of oil and chips. Temporary lane and highway closures, detours, and traffic flagging will be implemented to facilitate construction, traffic delays should be expected. Please be patient and professional with construction crews as they work to complete these projects.
