Construction Update for November 3

Loomis Road: The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Loomis Rd. Project is nearing completion at least for this seaon. Contractors are working overtime and on Saturdays in an attempt to complete as much work as possible before the winter weather sets in. There are several days worth of concrete curb, sidewalk and median work to be completed before the final asphalt overlay and pavement marking work can be done. The traffic signals and intersection lighting work can be accomplished in any kind of weather so the main focus will be on opening all lanes to traffic. It is quite likely that much of the landscaping work will need to be held off until the spring of 2011. Driving conditions should improve greatly over the next two weeks as November 15th is the target date for completion. Please continue to be extra cautious and patient in work zones.

All other road construction projects in the Village are now complete.
