Air Quality Alert: Wildfire smoke from fires in southern Ontario, Canada and northeast Minnesota has moved into Wisconsin, creating unhealthy air quality conditions. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory through noon on Thursday. Air quality is expected to reach the Unhealthy to Very Unhealthy level, with the potential to reach the Hazardous Air Quality Index level. The advisory will be re-evaluated Thursday morning and may be extended based on conditions. According to the Department of Health Services, wildfire smoke can affect anyone, but people who may notice symptoms sooner include older adults, young children, people who are pregnant, outdoor workers, and individuals with heart or lung conditions such as asthma or COPD.

Culvert Improvements on County Trunk Highway WW over Fourmile Creek

The Portage County Highway Department, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Transporation (WisDOT), are in the process of developing plans to improve the existing culvert on County Trunk Highway WW over Fourmile Creek. A project location Map is attached for your reference.

As part of the project development process, they are gathering input on the proposed project and construction activities. The attached project information package provides details on the existing culvert, proposed improvements, traffic impacts, and project schedule. 

Please review and submit any questions, comments, or concerns that may assist with the development of this project by January 5th, 2024. If you have questions of concerns that may require an in-depth conversation, please contact Vincent DiFrances at 262-683-8525 or vinced@jt-engineering.com.

 

Notes from Supervisor Provost:

The boxed area in the Aerial of CTH WW Bridge shows the part of the road that will be replaced (W330’ and E250’).

2024 design and 2025 build. Everything is preliminary at this point so changes can be expected.

Estimated 3 month road closure

Due to trout stream required time-out periods, this would have to start in June of 2025.

Water quality will be protected by standard BMP’s used for bridge replacements

DATCP will also be involved in the review due to being in the jurisdiction of the Portage County Drainage District
