The first phase will include the reconstruction of the intersection of Shawano Street and North Water Street. The intersection will be closed on April 8th, and traffic will be detoured to Waupaca Street then to Pearl Street. The intersection will reopen once reconstruction is completed. Phase 2 will include reconstruction from the Shawano Street Intersection to the new parking lot near Lincoln Court. Phase 3 will then proceed with the reconstruction of North Water Street from the parking lot to Pearl Street and from the Pearl Street Bridge to Waupaca Street. More details on detour routes and timelines will be provided as we receive them.

The Contractor and DOT are also planning an informational meeting for all business and property owners in the construction zone for Thursday, April 4th, at 4 pm in the Senior Center at the Washington Center. The contactor will be sending letters notifying businesses and property owners of the meeting. At that time, questions can be asked to the contractor regarding the project.

During the project, the contractor will strive to keep sidewalks and pedestrian access available as much as possible. Remember, during construction the DOWNTOWN IS STILL OPEN so please continue to support our businesses during the project.
