Hwy 12 Construction Update: Completion scheduled for approx. Nov. 19

The November 6 update from the Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation:

“You all may have noticed that things are near completion on US 12. However, we have two major items to complete prior to opening the roadway.

1) Signal work at the US 12/County ES Intersection and

2) Adjusting manholes in the roadway near the Sterlingworth Dr./Pleasant Lake Rd. area.

Both items of work are difficult to complete while the roadway is open, and traffic is near our equipment, workers, and materials.

Therefore, for safety reasons US 12 will remain closed until early the week of 11/18; we are currently projected to have the roadway open on 11/19.

Current Construction Operations:

  • Signal base installation at the County ES & US 12 intersection is anticipated to take place over the next couple of days.
  • Pavement marking is anticipated to wrap up by the end of the week.
  • Many other finishing items will be ongoing in the meantime; please be aware of workers and personnel working on these items outside of full closure areas.

Upcoming Construction Operations (Week of 11/11/2024):

  • Traffic signal equipment will be installed; this is anticipated to take most of the week.
  • Manholes near the Sterlingworth Dr. and Pleasant Lake Rd. intersection will be adjusted, this work will be done with flagging and traffic will be shifted away from the manholes overnight. Please use caution while travelling through this area during the work hours and overnight hours.


Traffic Updates:

  • US 12 is closed to through traffic (residents and business will have access), a detour route utilizing WIS 20, I-43 and WIS 67 is in place.
  • No traffic will be allowed to cross the Sugar Creek Bridge for the duration of this project (Located between County A and County ES.)
  • The project is anticipated to wrap up by mid to late November.”
