The state’s portion of major improvements on Wisconsin 42 is in its final month, depending on possible delays. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation began one portion, which covers WIS 42 between the mid junction with WIS 42/57 in Sturgeon Bay and County T in Egg Harbor, in the beginning of April and started the other portion, which covers the same road from South Village Limits of Egg Harbor to Fish Creek between the intersection of WIS 42 and Rainbow Ridge Court and the intersection of WIS 42 and Bluff Lane, about a month later.

Both projects right now saw construction workers paving the roadway as they work toward their goal date of June 8th. Up north, all paving is now completed north of the intersection of Church Road and WIS 42 (north of Egg Harbor) to the north project limit of Bluff Lane and WIS 42 (Fish Creek). This coming week, crews will continue paving and milling within the village of Egg Harbor while the village continues working on sidewalks, street lighting, and curb and gutter. In the southern portion of the project, contractors will continue to pave the surface and place temporary pavement as they work north.

Local traffic is allowed through the construction areas, but they will encounter flagging operations controlling the area. Motorists can still use the detour that uses WIS 57 and County Roads V, A, and EE to get around the construction. The roadway will be open to traffic on Juneteenth (June 19th) and on the weekends.
