Location
WIS 54, Portage County Line to Foxfire Dr. Waupaca County
Proposed Improvements
WisDOT will be making improvements along 4.6 miles of WIS 54 from the Portage County line to Foxfire Drive. The roadway is currently exhibiting signs of deterioration in the form of cracking and has areas where curb and gutter have deteriorated.
Proposed improvements will include:
- Repaving this portion of WIS 54
- Adding right and left turn lanes at County Q
- Spot curb and gutter repair
- Sidewalk curb ramp installation to meet ADA curb ramp compliance
Real Estate
Real Estate will be needed to construct the turn lanes at County Q and for the sidewalk curb ramps at Foxfire Drive.

Traffic Impacts
WIS 54 will remain open to traffic during construction with the use of daytime flagging operations. Access will be maintained to businesses and residents except for when the moving paving operations are passing directly in front of those entrances. During those times, property owners will experience a short restriction in access.
Overall, only minor delays should be expected by the traveling public during construction.
