NOTICE: The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will be conducting road construction work along US 12 between the Walworth/Rock County line and Cox Road. Construction is scheduled to begin July 8, 2024. Crews will be repaving the shoulders and adding rumble strips throughout the project limits.

Construction will be done in multiple stages. [During the first phase, traffic will remain open with flagging operations.] During the second stage, eastbound US 12 will be closed to traffic between W. Main Street/Tri County Road and County P. Traffic will be detoured using Business US 12 (W. Main Street, Milwaukee Street, and Elkhorn Road). This detour is expected to last approximately two weeks.

After completion of the eastbound work, westbound US 12 will be closed to traffic between County P and W. Main Street/Tri County Road. Traffic will again be detoured using Business US 12 (Elkhorn Road, Milwaukee Street and W. Main Street). This detour is expected to last approximately two weeks.

City officials are asking residents to use extra caution and have patience as the additional traffic through the City could cause some delays at intersections throughout the detour. The project is tentatively scheduled for completion by late summer 2024. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.

More information on the US 12 project can be found on the attached brochure and WisDOT’s 511 project page:
