Project location
WIS 171 Box Culvert replacement, near Mt. Sterling - Crawford County
Project overview
The project is located on WIS 171 in the Town of Utica approximately 1.0 miles east of Copper Creek Road and 1.1 miles west of the WIS 27/WIS 171 intersection in Mt. Sterling. The project is needed to rectify a structurally deficient structure, due to the existing age and deterioration of the structure. The existing 10’ x 10’ x 59’ long box culvert structure over the North Branch Copper Creek has wide cracking, heavy leaching, and exposed aggregate on the box floor.
Proposed work:
- Replacing the box culvert with a new 13’ x 8’ x 64' long box culvert
- Reconstructing approximately 500 feet of roadway pavement structure over the culvert
Schedule
- 2025 - Construction anticipated with potential to be advanced to 2023
- May 2020 - Public involvement letters were sent out
Traffic impacts/detours
WIS 171 will be closed to traffic during construction. Posted detour will follow this route:
- North from Mt. Sterling on WIS 27 to Fargo, and west on WIS 82 to De Soto where it will meet WIS 35
