To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers recently signed a $5 million contract to reconstruct WIS 39 between US 18 in Edmund and US 151 in Mineral Point in the Iowa County. Preliminary work is scheduled to begin March 20 on the tree clearing.
Iverson Construction is the prime contractor for the project. The project is designed to replace the asphalt surface, shoulder gravel, bridge rehabilitation work, culvert replacement and beam guard replacement to improve the roadway.
Starting Monday, March 27, through traffic will be detoured. The detour will utilize US 151 and US 18. Local traffic will be maintained for residents, businesses, and agricultural sites.
Project completion is scheduled for late summer 2023. The schedule is dependent on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.
