Where there are improved roads on the peninsula this year, you can thank the Door County Highway Department.
While the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has taken the year off from major projects in Door County, the Door County Highway Department has not shied away from them. The department announced its latest project last week, which will reconstruct County Highway E from Elm Point Road to Logerquist Road. The project will begin July 13 and is expected to end by mid-August.
It has been a busy summer for the Highway Department, with work wrapping up on County Highway T from State Highway 42/57 to the Lily Bay Boat Launch and County Highway S from State Highway 42/57 to Emerald Drive in the coming days and weeks.
Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash said there are other projects going on across the area that motorists should pay close attention to while driving.
Ash encourages drivers to use caution and pay attention to signage while traveling to and through construction zones.
