Governor Evers approves WIS 27 improvements, Vernon and Crawford counties

Release date: May 30, 2023

To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers recently signed a $6.8 million contract to improve WIS 27 between South of County C in Fairview and Brookeville Road in Viroqua, Vernon and Crawford counties. Work is scheduled to begin June 5.

Mathy Construction is the prime contractor for the project. The project is designed to replace deteriorating pavement along the project corridor. Additional improvements include inlet and culvert replacement, and guardrail replacement.

During construction, WIS 27 will remain open for the majority of construction under flagging operations. WIS 27 will be closed June 12 – June 30, weather dependent, for culvert replacement.

Project completion is scheduled for mid-September. The schedule is dependent on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.
