After last weekend's ice storms delayed its start, you will officially have road construction to worry about starting on Monday. Wisconsin Department of Transportation crews will begin a resurfacing project for State Highway 57, stretching 1.5 miles from Summit Road to County Q. In addition to making the ride a little smooth through town, it will replace some sections of curbs and gutters, upgrade curb ramps to ADA standards, and replace four culverts. It is a 55-day working day contract with crews pausing in July and August due to peak summer traffic. DOT spokesperson Mark Kantola says that will extend the project’s conclusion to mid-to-late October, but the pause is done with the community’s interest and its workers’ safety in mind.

The project was originally supposed to start on March 31st, only to scrap those plans due to the forecasted weather. It is the first of four projects coming to Door County, including reconfiguring three STH 57 intersections that will begin in mid-to-late April.
