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.
The extensive summer project included milling off the top two inches of roadway, and laying four new inches of pavement. The paved shoulder width will also be increased to six feet, and bypass lanes and right turn lanes at intersections will be 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.
Kurt Flierl is the Construction Project Manager with the DOT. He provided a brief update on the project.
Weather has had minimal impact on department contractor schedule.
Roundabout construction at the intersection of County Y is on schedule.
Contractor is nearing the halfway point of 90 calendar day requirement to reopen the intersection.
Intersection grading and curb and gutter construction at the remaining intersections will be complete by the end of July
Asphalt paving and pavement repairs began in June. All lower layers of asphalt pavement with the exception of pavement at new roundabout construction, will be placed in July. Asphalt pavement construction will then resume in mid August as roundabout construction is completed.
Bridge deck replacement at WIS 60 over Cedar Creek is complete. Department contractors will complete grading and guardrail installation at the bridge approaches in late July.
WIS 60 remains closed to through traffic, and the intersection of County Y will be closed through August.
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.
