Construction to close segment of WIS 85 in Dunn County

Closure to be in place for up to 50 working days; traffic to be detoured via US 10, WIS 37

A segment of WIS 85 will be closed to through traffic at 7 a.m. Monday, April 27 as construction begins on a resurfacing project from just west of the north junction of County O to approximately 2,100 feet west of 1010th Street in Dunn County.

The highway will be closed for up to 50 working days when work begins, and through traffic will be detoured via US 10 and WIS 37. Once WIS 85 reopens to traffic, remaining work will be completed with lane closures controlled by flagging.

Access to businesses and residences in the work zone will be maintained, but temporary driveway closures will be necessary during parts of construction. Project staff will contact property owners in advance of closing a driveway.

Construction is scheduled for completion in mid-August.
