Public information Meeting on US 51

This summer WisDOT will reconstruct US 51 from Pleasant St to Ontario St. starting in March with expected completion in October (weather dependent). The project will occur in 2 phases resulting in DeWitt St closure and later, E Wisconsin St closure (and detours). This is a big project right through downtown and the resulting street closures and traffic detours will cause challenges, comments, questions and complaints.
 
As this is a WisDOT project, a Project Manager has been selected by WisDOT to answer those questions and concerns. WisDOT has established a website for this project at https://projects.511wi.gov/us51-portage/map/. The website project an overview of the project, schedule, detours, project updates and contact information. Residents and visitors with questions can visit the website as it will be updated as the project progresses.
 
WisDOT will host an online Public Information Meeting on this project March 2, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Again, the WisDOT website has a link to join the PIM on March 2.
