Public Meeting in Glenwood City next Wednesday
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is planning improvements to Highway 170 from the intersection with Oak Street in Glenwood City, through Downing, to just east of the intersection of Highway 170 and Highway 79 in Boyceville. The total length of the project is approximately seven and a half miles.
The construction is currently scheduled for 2021 with acquisitions or easements scheduled to begin this year.
A Public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 10, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the commons area of the Glenwood City High School at 850 Maple Street. The meeting will follow an informal, open house format.
The Proposed improvements of the project include the installation of signal lights at the intersection of highway 170 and northbound highway 79 in Boyceville.
Rehabilitate the roadway-driving surface by milling the existing pavement and overlay new asphalt pavement.
Replacement of the deck surface on the Tiffany Creek Bridge, near the county line between Dunn and St. Croix County.
Replacement of the safety beam guard, at the bridge approaches and steep slopes.
Upgrade to sidewalk curb ramps in Glenwood City, Downing and Boyceville.
Replacement or repairs to existing culverts.
Throughout most of the project highway 170 will remain open and flagging operations will be utilized to direct traffic during construction. At the Tiffany Creek Bridge crossing, highway 170 may be reduced to one lane operation with temporary traffic signals in place.
