September 17, 2020 – Washington/Ozaukee Co., WI – Motorists traveling Highway 60 rejoice as the road reopened between Jackson and 5 Corners Dodge in Cedarburg.
It was April 20, 2020 when Highway 60 was closed from Eagle Drive (Piggly Wiggly) in Jackson to Highway 181 by 5 Corners in Cedarburg.
Road crews could be seen just west of Cedarburg collecting orange-and-white striped barricades as vehicles zipped up and down the fresh blacktop.
Work included updated signage, pavement marking, restoration, and lighting at the roundabout at County Y.
Flierl said the “project is on schedule and department anticipates opening WIS 60 prior to September 18.”
The extensive summer project included milling off the top two inches of roadway, and laying four new inches of pavement. The paved shoulder width was increased to six feet, and bypass lanes and right turn lanes at intersections added or extended as needed.
In addition to the resurfacing, the State reconstructed the intersection of STH 60 and CTH Y with a roundabout to address traffic safety concerns.
