Location
WIS 17, Vilas County
Overview
The purpose of this project is to preserve WIS 17 and minimize the overall life cycle cost of the corridor. The existing culverts crossing the highway are showing signs of deterioration and need to be addressed.
The project's proposed improvements include replacing these culverts and reconstructing the section of roadway above the culvert.
Traffic Impacts
The highway is expected to remain open during construction. Motorists can expect periodic lane shifts, lane width restrictions, and flagging operations.

Property acquisition (FEE) will be needed for a culvert replacement area
