Bluff Creek Culvert Project to Begin May 18

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with Walworth County, will remove an abandoned railroad box culvert over Bluff Creek located on the west side of County Highway P, roughly 1.75 miles south of U.S. Highway 12 in the Town of Whitewater.

What to Expect

Beginning May 18, County Highway P will be closed between Kettle Moraine Drive and Reliance Road. The road will be entirely shut down at Bluff Creek for approximately 90 days. Emergency services, postal deliveries, and garbage collection should use local roads and alternate routes.

A signed detour will utilize County Highway O between County Highway A and U.S. Highway 12 for non-local traffic. Local residents are encouraged to use all available alternative routes.

Keep an eye out for message signboards for more specific information as it becomes available. The work is anticipated to be completed by the end of July.

Who to Contact

All questions or concerns can be directed to the Wisconsin DNR’s Project Manager, Mike Stone, at 608-444-3207 or via email at michael.stone@wisconsin.gov.
