WIS 21 project in Waushara County has shifted to pavement work

The project to reconstruct WIS 21 between Wautoma and Coloma in Waushara County headed into a new phase on July 17. Crews will begin focusing on pavement work while continuing with other work on the project. The road remains closed and detoured to through traffic but locals using the road to get to their homes or business may encounter delays and varying road surfaces. Crews began pulverizing the road July 17 starting at the Wautoma end of the project and working their way west. The pulverizing is expected to take about two to three weeks. During that time, local residents will encounter a gravel surface and delays near the pulverizing operations. The gravel surface could be in place for up to 30 days before the asphalt layer is placed.   For more information regarding traffic impacts, transportation news and improvement project updates in Wisconsin’s North Central Region: •Follow us on Twitter: @WisDOTnorthcent •Visit the region’s 511 website: https://projects.511wi.gov/region/north-central/ •Visit the project’s website: https://projects.511wi.gov/wis21-waushara/   Motorists are reminded that using handheld cell phones in Wisconsin work zones is illegal.
