Fall and construction seasons collide

If there is not enough orange in the trees this fall for you, look at the road ahead. There is still plenty of road construction across Door County as the year drives deeper into fall. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced last week that its final road construction of the season would start on Monday in the Village of Forestville. 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. Crews are still working on a culvert replacement project near Baileys Harbor at Hibbard Creek.  The current detour has motorists using County Road V, County Road A, and County Road E to access the different ends of the project on State Highway 57. Both of those projects are slated to be finished in November. The DOT also announced highway maintenance on northbound WIS 57 between County D and TruWay Road beginning on Monday and continuing through 4 p.m. on Thursday. A lane closure will be used so crews can safely repair the pavement.
