Travelers will have road construction to deal with near the Bayview Bridge and streets around Sturgeon Bay’s west side starting this Wednesday. The Highway 42 project scheduled by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation will entail improvements over a 7.2 mile stretch from the south junction of Highway 42/57 north to the Bayview Bridge. The work will include concrete pavement repairs and asphalt overlay of existing concrete. Work that is being coordinated with the City of Sturgeon Bay and Door County will consist of Ashland Avenue, Neenah Avenue, County Road U, and Green Bay Road. County Road U will be widened to have a right turn lane and a combined left/through lane. That work will require closure from Tacoma Beach Road to the highway for one to two months. During the construction, alternate routes for traffic will be East Walnut Street. Neenah Avenue, and Quarterdeck Lane. Scheduled to be completed in September, the overall project aims to address the deteriorating roadway pavement and improve safety.
