deterioration,” and the westbound off-ramp at Silver Maple Road on the east side of Abbotsford is in poor condition, so the concrete pavement will be replaced.

Gov. Evers signed a $6.1 million contract with Chippewa Concrete Services to complete the project, which will involve patching the pavement and ramps at the STH 13 interchange, replacing guardrails and asphalt shoulders and installing new pavement markings.

“WIS 29 will remain open to traffic during construction by utilizing crossovers at each end of the project,” the DOT website states. “One crossover will be just west of the County E south intersection and the second crossover will be just east of the westbound off ramp to WIS 13.”

Work is expected to be completed by Oct. 17 of this year, but the actual end date will depend on weather conditions. Construction activities will temporarily cease during the Fourth of July and Labor Day holiday weekends (from noon on Thursday, July 3, through 6 a.m. on Monday, July 7, and from noon on Friday, Aug. 29, through 6 a.m on Tuesday, Sept. 2.)

This summer’s two projects are the first of several that are slated for completion over the next few years. Next year, the DOT plans on resurfacing STH 29 from the bridge over CTH D in Owen to the western exit into Abbotsford. Another segment, from just west of Purple Martin Lane to just east of Pheasant Falls Road, will also be completed in 2026.
