The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is conducting a public involvement meeting to discuss pavement improvements on WIS 80 from WIS 33 in Union Center to the Baraboo River Bridge in Elroy, Juneau County. Construction is scheduled for 2031.

 

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2024, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at Union Center Town Hall, 339 High Street, Union Center. The objective of this meeting is to familiarize the public with the purpose and need for the project and to obtain input on the proposed improvements.
