WisDOT Seeking Feedback on Proposed Mequon Road Project
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is proposing to rehabilitate 3.8 miles of WIS 167 (Mequon Road) from the Washington County Line to Buntrock Avenue in Mequon. Construction will likely include resurfacing, repairing pavement, and replacing culverts, drainage structures, curb ramps, and the installation of traffic signals where needed. New sidewalk on both sides of WIS 167 from Swan Road to Solar Avenue will also be investigated. Construction is scheduled to start in summer 2025. Interested parties may contact the WisDOT Project Manager, Gary Metzer, via email or by calling (262) 548-5685 with any comments, questions, or concerns.
