Summary

Highway staff reported progress on the I‑39 project (expected completion September 2026), paving plans for County Road E and P, and that the County Road D Causeway received the WI Chapter APWA Project of the Year award and was selected as a candidate for the National APWA award in the under‑$5 million category.

Highway Department staff updated the committee on major projects, construction schedules and an award for a recent causeway project.

Brian reported that the I‑39 project is underway with projected completion in September 2026. County Road E paving is planned for early fall after I‑39 work concludes; crews are completing culvert work and small paving before moving to County Road P. Cold‑in‑place recycling on County Road P is scheduled for mid‑to‑late June with paving anticipated after the July 4 holiday.

Brian said the County Road D Causeway project was awarded the Wisconsin Chapter American Public Works Association Project of the Year for transportation projects under $5 million, recognized for improved flood resiliency, the addition of ten fishing platforms and use of local forces. He also reported the project was selected for consideration for the National APWA Project of the Year in the same category.

Staff also reviewed CTH A/D 60% plans and said public informational meetings will be scheduled in the Town of Douglas and the Town of Packwaukee after county comments are addressed. Brian summarized a separate issue involving Union Pacific Railroad pressuring for a wider bridge span; DOT and OCR are aiming for a roughly 75‑foot span to limit railroad right‑of‑way requirements.

Next steps include scheduling public informational meetings on CTH A/D plans, continuing paving and recycling work on County Road P, and proceeding with sign‑off steps for the I‑39 project toward the September target.
