The final state road construction slated for Door County this year will impact your commute between Algoma and Sturgeon Bay. Beginning on Monday (10/6), State Highway 42 will close near County Highway J to replace two existing deteriorated concrete box culverts.

According to the Door County Highway Department, the impacted culverts are located .78 miles south of the County Highway J intersection, and the other culvert is located .55 miles north of the  County Highway   J intersection. The highway will be closed entirely during the project so the crews can install new elliptical culverts. Motorists will follow County Line Road, Old Krueger Road, County Highway O, and County Highway H as a detour. It has been a busy year for road construction projects in Door County, with intersection improvements wrapping up in the southern portion of the county and culvert replacement taking place in the northern half. Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northeast Regional Spokesperson Mark Kantola applauds motorists for a safe year thus far.

Weather permitting, the culvert projects on State Highway 42 near Forestville and State Highway 57 near Baileys Harbor are expected to wrap up in November.
