Washington/Ozaukee Co., WI – 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.
Kurt Flierl, WisDOT construction project manager, said even though people see vehicles on WIS 60 the road is not yet open.
“Local access is available for residents that live on WIS 60, accessing WIS 60 from the nearest adjacent north south routes,” Flierl said.
“Department contractors are completing signing, pavement marking, restoration, and lighting at the roundabout at County Y. The department anticipates opening the new roundabout at County Y to local traffic only by the weekend, September 5 / 6.”
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 will be reconstructing the intersection of STH 60 and CTH Y with a roundabout to address traffic safety concerns.
Flierl said “the department appreciates the patience and assistance of local community in adhering to signed detour and local alternate routes as construction progress continues.”
The entire stretch of road from Eagle Drive to Five Corners will be closed to through traffic during construction. A detour route is posted. Local and emergency access will be maintained throughout the project.
