The resurfacing project on US 10 from WIS 29/35 in Prescott to the south junction of US 63 west of Ellsworth, all in Pierce County got under way last Monday.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation project will:
· Remove a portion of the existing pavement on the approximate 14-mile stretch of US 10 and place new asphalt pavement.
· Widen paved shoulders from 3 feet to 5 feet.
· Replace culverts at Spring Creek on US 10 just west the 760th Street and 730th Street intersections west of Ellsworth.
· Replace the existing box culverts on US 10 with bridges just east of 1040th Street and west of Cross Town Road.
· Replace guardrail along the entire length of the project and pavement markings.
· Replacing pavement markings.
·
During culvert replacement and bridge construction, US 10 will be closed to through traffic, with that closure beginning today (Monday, March 18) and continuing to Labor Day.
Motorists detoured via WIS 29/35 and WIS 65. To maintain access to properties in the work zone, this work will be staggered.
During resurfacing and other work, motorists will encounter daytime single-lane closures controlled by flagging. Construction is scheduled for completion in October.
