The final fiscal numbers are not in yet, but the number of construction barrels on State Highway 42 in Door County is at zero. Wisconsin Department of Transportation spokesperson Mark Kantola says crews wrapped up their work north and south of the Village of Egg Harbor this week despite battling wet spring weather for much of it. The state’s portions of the project included STH 42 from the city of Sturgeon Bay to Egg Harbor between the mid junction with WIS 42/57 and County T and from the 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, covering almost 20 miles. Kantola says he will know on Monday if the projects are finished on time and budget. However, your commute to Door County may still be impacted if you drive through Green Bay. Construction crews are working on a 4.4-mile, $7.6 million resurfacing project on STH 54/57 between University Way and STH 57. Kantola says construction crews will be cleaned up for the long holiday weekend.
This spring and early summer have been among the busiest in Kantola’s decade-long stint with the DOT. There have been some accidents on US-41, where state crews are working on road construction projects this year, causing Kantola to ask motorists to put down their phones and eliminate other distractions while driving.
