Wisconsin Department of Transportation Seeking Public Comment on US 10 Project Near Neillsville

Wednesday, February 26th, 2025 -- 12:00 PM

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking public comment on a proposed pavement improvement project on US 10 from Bachelors Avenue in the town of Hewett east to WIS 73 South in Neillsville, all in Clark County.

The public is encouraged to visit the project website, review materials and submit comments by March 7 by:

• Email: [email protected]
• Mail: Wisconsin Department of Transportation
      718 W. Clairemont Ave..
      Eau Claire, WI 54701
      Attn.: Christena O’Brien

The existing pavement is showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing the following:

• Resurfacing the asphaltic pavement
• Paving 5-foot shoulders and adding shoulder rumble strips to reduce run-off-the-road crashes
• Currently, three feet of the existing shoulders is paved.
• Shoulder paving is proposed from Bachelors Avenue to 2,000 feet west of WIS 73 South (55 mph speed zone).
• Replacing approximately 300 feet of pavement located about 1,000 feet west of Sidney Avenue, located west of Neillsville
• Replacing, repairing or cleaning culverts
• Repairing spot locations of curb and gutter and inlets
• Replacing guardrail
• Upgrading sidewalk curb ramps
• Rehabilitating bridges over Wedges Creek and the Black River
• Installing new pavement markings and centerline rumble strips

Construction is currently scheduled for 2029, but work could be advanced to 2027 if funding becomes available. During construction, US 10 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter lane closures controlled by flagging.

During paving work, trucks will be detoured via US 12, WIS 95 and WIS 73.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
