WAUPACA COUNTY, WI – The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is moving forward with two separate improvement projects along US 10 in Waupaca County, including a public meeting this week on a future reconstruction project and a major highway upgrade scheduled to begin next week.
Public Meeting Scheduled for Future US 10 Improvements
WisDOT is inviting residents to attend a public involvement meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 5, to learn more about a proposed improvement project on the eastbound lanes of US 10 between Anderson Road and Apple Tree Lane.
The meeting will begin at 5 p.m. in Meeting Room A at the Waupaca Public Library, located at 107 S. Main Street. A project presentation is scheduled for 5:15 p.m., followed by an open house where attendees can review project exhibits and speak directly with WisDOT staff.
The proposed project includes repairing and replacing concrete pavement joints, replacing paved shoulders, repairing culverts and converting the Anderson Road intersection to right-in, right-out access only.
Construction is currently scheduled for 2030 but could begin as early as 2029 if additional funding becomes available.
Construction Begins Aug. 10 in Fremont
Meanwhile, Governor Tony Evers has approved a $3.6 million highway improvement project on westbound US 10 in the Town of Fremont.
Construction is scheduled to begin Aug. 10 on US 10 between Old WIS 49 and the Winnebago County line.
The project includes replacing sections of concrete pavement, repaving asphalt shoulders, installing new guardrail, updating traffic signals at the WIS 96 and WIS 110 intersection, and completing additional concrete and shoulder work along WIS 110 between the ramp terminals and the WIS 96 intersection.
Vinton Construction Company has been selected as the project’s prime contractor.
Throughout construction, US 10 will remain open to traffic with lane closures in place. Drivers should also expect intermittent ramp closures with signed detours directing traffic to adjacent interchanges.
Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by Oct. 30.
