US 12 from just south of the I-94 overpass to the WIS 25 intersection in Menomonie and WIS 25 from the I-94 bridge in Menomonie north to County D in the town of Tainter, all in Dunn County.

Ove​rview​

The existing pavement on these segments of US 12 and WIS 25 are showing signs of deterioration. To address this and other issues, the WisDOT project will include:

  • On US 12:
    • Milling off a portion of the existing pavement and overlaying the roadway with asphalt.
    • Upgrading pedestrian curb ramps to Americans With Disabilities Act standards.
  • On WIS 25:
    • Removing a portion of the existing pavement from the bridge over I-94 to the railroad bridge and placing new asphalt pavement.
    • Recycling a portion of the existing pavement, mixing it with a stabilizing agent, relaying it and placing new asphalt from the railroad bridge to County D.
    • Adjusting or replacing guardrail.
    • Upgrading pedestrian curb ramps and traffic signals.
    • Make the following upgrades at the County BB East, County F and Northline Road intersection:
      • Adding left-turn lanes on WIS 25.
      • Adjusting the angle of the intersection.
      • Extending drainage pipes.
      • Updating pavement markings and the traffic island.
