The public is invited to an informational meeting Thursday about the state Highway 22 reconstruction project in Clintonville.
The hourlong meeting will begin at 1 p.m. in the Community Center, 30 S. Main St. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information about planned improvements, contractor’s schedule and traffic changes during construction. Wisconsin Department of Transportation representatives will present information and answer questions.
The first phase of the work, between 10th and 13th streets, is scheduled to begin June 1. The improvements include replacement of the Pigeon River Bridge; reconstruction of Highway 22, including pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, storm sewer, street lighting and traffic signals; replacement of city water and sewer; and modifications to the intersections of North Lyon and 12th Street and 12th Street and SSGT Warren Hansen Drive to improve safety.
Early in June, crews will mark detour routes. By mid-June, crews will close Highway 22 between 10th Street and 13th Street. During the closure, traffic will be detoured to Seventh Street, Lyon Street, 12th Street, SSGT Warren Hansen Drive and state Highway 156.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by mid-October.
