The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking a public input on improvements along US 18/151 bridge and curve repair project, between the Town of Dodgeville and the Village of Barneveld, in Iowa County. Construction is currently scheduled for 2025.
A handout and materials detailing the US 18/151 project are available to view on the project website at
https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/projects/by-region/sw/us18151-dodgeville/default.aspx.
The project is proposed to improve safety by adding a High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST) on the bridge deck on US 18/151 eastbound over South Jones Street. Along with the bridge repairs, WisDOT is also developing preliminary plans for a HFST for seven pairs of curves along US 18/151 to decrease the number of run-off-the-road crashes. Additionally, there are four bridges within the curve limits that will also receive a HFST.
US 18/151 will remain open to traffic while being constructed under single lane closures and closures of side roads along the project corridor.
All persons interested in the project are encouraged to view the website and provide input by contacting project staff via email, postal mail, or phone. Your comments will assist WisDOT in developing a project that will serve the needs of the traveling public and community. Your input is welcome and appreciated throughout the design process. Questions and comments can be directed to WisDOT Project Manager Derek Potter at
