WisDOT seeking input on WIS 29 median cable guard project

Proposal adds barrier between 40th Avenue and 0.45 mile west of County H in Chippewa County

Release date: November 20, 2023

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking public input on a proposed safety improvement project that adds cable guard in the median on WIS 29 from 40th Avenue in the town of Hallie and village of Lake Hallie to 50th Avenue in Lake Hallie, County J to 190th Street in the town of Lafayette and County G in the town of Delmar to 0.45 mile west of County H in the city of Stanley, all in Chippewa County.

The public is invited to go to the project website, review a presentation and handout and submit comments by email or mail to project staff by Dec. 18, 2023:

• Email: tyson.pelkofer@dot.wi.gov
• Mail: Wisconsin Department of Transportation
  

  718 W. Clairemont Ave.
  Eau Claire, WI 54701
  Attn.: Tyson Pelkofer

Because of cross-median crashes at these locations, WisDOT is proposing to:

• Install cable guard in the median.
• Place gravel along the shoulder.
• Reconstruct drainage structures.
• Restore the construction site by placing seed and fertilizer.

During construction, WIS 29 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter shoulder and occasional lane closures.

Construction is scheduled for 2024.
