		RE:   Notification of Proposed Project		
         USH 63 
         Limits: Drummond – USH 2   
         Bayfield County
         Project ID: 1560-07-01/70

		

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is in the process of developing plans for a proposed project located on USH 63, from Drummond to USH 2, in Bayfield County.  Preliminary concepts are being developed for resurfacing this section of highway between Drummond Lake Road and East Junction CTH E.  Currently this project is scheduled to be completed in 2023.  

In the near future, various surveys will be conducted for the above project to aid in the design of the project.  Surveys that may be conducted include right of way survey, soil testing/borings, and contaminated material investigations.  Minimum disruption to traffic is expected to occur during these surveys.  

The proposed project also includes culvert cleaning and replacement, apron end wall replacements, riprap placement, spot concrete curb and gutter replacement, gravel shouldering, pavement markings, centerline rumble strips, shoulder rumble strips, and any incidental items necessary.  All proposed items are planned to be constructed under flagging operations.

Please feel free to contact WisDOT with any comments or concerns regarding traffic issues, unique features to the roadway, or drainage problems.  I can be reached at (715) 392-7975 or caitlin.bukovitz@dot.wi.gov, to answer any questions you may have regarding the proposed project.  

Sincerely,

Caitlin Bukovitz
WisDOT Project Leader
