You will see the first steps being taken to make the intersection at Gordon Road and Highway 42/57 safer on Wednesday. The Door County Highway Department will be starting the “No Left Turn” improvements at the intersection that has been the scene of over 25 accidents since 2015.
Traffic traveling east on Gordon Road/County BB will be detoured onto Old Highway Road to Egg Harbor Road and then back on the highway's roundabout.
The intersection will be opened on Wednesday evening. There are several phases to this improvement so you can expect lane closures and detours throughout the Gordon Road and Old Highway Road intersections over the next two to three weeks.
The Door County Board approved an additional $151,515 for improvements to be made to the intersection back in June. That was after $100,000 was approved in 2022 for limiting motorists from being able to turn left from Gordon Road onto State Highway 42/57 to head north. A roundabout grant was approved by the state earlier this year but the project will not be completed until 2027 at the earliest.
