The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is conducting a public involvement meeting to discuss improvements on WIS 73 from WIS 19 to Village of Marshall north limits in Marshall, Dane County.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 29, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at Marshall Elementary School, 617 Madison Street, Marshall. The objective of this meeting is to familiarize the public with the purpose and need for the project and to obtain input on the proposed improvements.
