SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, WI (WHBL) - It has been tough for some to get around Sheboygan County’s two largest cities this road construction season, but the end is in sight.
The Wisconsin DOT said this week work replacing the deck and pavement on the 14th Street Bridge in Sheboygan has reached the point where traffic will be allowed on it for the first time since the Fourth of July weekend. Weather permitting, barriers blocking traffic will be removed Friday, by evening at the latest.
Work is not done on the bridge, as lanes will be reduced to one in each direction the next two weeks so bridge lighting is installed. Also, the bridge’s parapet walls will be stained next spring.
Meanwhile in Plymouth, work on reconstructing Highway 67 has also reached the point where traffic is back allowed on it. Work has been done since June between the Mullet River north to Suhrke Road repairing underground utilities and resurfacing the street.
The DOT says some minor final details are still being done, but that will not impact traffic.
