The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) recently announced that it will begin reconstruction work on U.S. Highway 12, between County Trunk M, just south of the Fort Atkinson city limits, and Buckingham Road, located to the north of the city of Whitewater.
The project resides in Jefferson County. Work is slated to begin March 6.
The project is anticipated to complete by the end of 2023, information found on the projects.511wi.gov website states.
The construction area will be closed to through traffic while the work is underway. Through traffic will be detouring using State Highway 59 to State Highway 26 to U.S. 12, the website noted.
An overview of the project, found on the DOT’s wisconsindot.gov website, notes that work will begin just north of the Whitewater Bypass and extend approximately 4 miles north to approximately County Trunk M.
Work planned for the segment of roadway includes removing and replacing the existing pavement, base course layer, sub-base course layer, pavement markings, and permanent signing. Improvements will include widening the shoulders and safety zone, modifying three substandard horizontal curves to meet design standards and replacing drainage structures, according to the website.
