The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will hold an information meeting about this year’s work on state Highway 22 in Clintonville from 5-6 p.m. Thursday at the Clintonville Community Center, 30 S. Main St.
A brief presentation will begin at 5 p.m. The remainder of the meeting will follow an informal, open house format.
The project will extend from 13th Street through the intersection with state Highway 156. Work is expected to start as early as March 13.
Planned improvements include pavement replacement, new sanitary and water systems, new storm sewer, new sidewalk, new curb ramps that meet current Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, new street lighting, reconstruction of the 22/156 intersection and new landscaping.
From mid to late March, motorists can expect single-lane closures and flagging operations along the street as crews remove trees. From late March to late October, the street will be closed to through traffic between 13th Street and Highway 156. Traffic will be detoured via Seventh Street, North Lyon Street, East 12th Street, SSGT Warren Hansen Drive and Highway 156.
From mid-June to mid-August, the intersection of Highway 22/156 and Green Tree Road will be closed to allow the contractors to complete the reconstruction. Traffic will be detoured via Seventh Street, North Lyon Street, East 12th Street, SSGT Warren Hansen Drive, Highway 156, Industrial Avenue and Autumn Street.
Construction plans are subject to change and are dependent on weather conditions.
