Location
WIS 128 from US 12 in the town of Springfield to WIS 170 in Glenwood City, all in St. Croix County.
Overview
The pavement and culverts along this stretch of WIS 128 are showing signs of deterioration. To address these and other issues, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to:
Recycle 3.75 inches of the existing asphaltic surface in the rural section of the project and pave 2.75 inches over the recycled pavement.
Mill approximately 3.25 inches of the existing asphaltic surface in the urban section of the project and pave the roadway with 3.25 inches of hot-mix asphalt in the urban section.
Over lay the deck on a small bridge in Glenwood City.
Update guardrail throughout the project corridor.
Clean or replace culvert pipes.
Update sidewalk curb ramps in Glenwood City.
Install new pavement markings.
Place centerline rumble strips.
Real Estate
Real estate acquisition might be required for culvert and guardrail replacement and curb ramp improvements.
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2026.
Traffic Impacts
During construction:
WIS 128 will remain open to through traffic during the removal and replacement of pavement, but motorists will encounter single-lane closures controlled by flagging.
WIS 128 will remain open during bridge work, but motorists might encounter a single lane of traffic controlled by temporary signals.
WIS 128 will be closed and detoured during culvert replacement.
