 Review purpose and needs for the project  Identify alternatives (solutions) to address the needs  Discuss next steps 2

3

 Regional and local traffic  Approximately 3,700 vehicles per day  16% trucks  Constructed in 1998  Existing asphalt 8 inches thick asphalt  24 crashes in 5 year period  Run-off-the-road crashes present  Ice and snow primary factors 4

Purpose  Maximize the life of the pavement  Improve safety Needs  Deteriorating pavement (cracking and rutting)  Four culvert pipes in poor condition  Deteriorating railroad crossing pavement 5

 Four culverts are in poor condition  Proposing to replace three  Two by railroad in Oxford  One by 5 th Drive  Repair one  1 mile east of 5 th Drive  Size/location unchanged 8

 Resurface  Recycle  Replacement  All alternatives include:  Culvert pipe repair  Railroad crossing surface replacement  Five-day detour required (WIS 13, WIS 21 and I-39)  Centerline rumble strips  Safety edge installation 11

12

 Reduce head-on fatal/injury crashes by 44%  Increase “awareness”  Inattentive driving  Limited Visibility  Rain, snow or fog  Low installation cost  Not installed near intersections or commercial driveways 13

 6% reduction in all crashes  Low cost of installation  Reduces hazard of low shoulders  Creates “smooth transition” back onto roadway Normal Edge Safety Edge 14

Resurface  Mill (remove) 2 inches of pavement  Place 1.75 inches of new pavement  Temporarily eliminates rutting/cracking.  Underlying issues not addressed.  Limited traffic impacts (flagging operation, 5 day detour)  Cost = $1.5 million – $2 million 15

Remove 2 inches of asphalt Place 1.75 inches of asphalt Install centerline rumble strips Lane and shoulder width unchanged 16

 Recycle  Mill (remove) 2 inches of asphalt  Cold-in-place recycle 4 inches of asphalt  Place 1.75 inches of new asphalt  Addresses more of the rutting and cracking issues  Limited traffic impacts (flagging operation, five-day detour)  Cost = $2.4 million – $3 million 17

Remove 2 inches of asphalt Recycle 4 inches of asphalt Place 1.75 inches of asphalt Install centerline rumble strips Lane and shoulder width unchanged 18

 Replacement  Remove all pavement  Replace with new pavement  Removes pavement not past its useful life (wastes money)  Possible real estate impacts (slope widening)  Greater traffic impact (four-month detour)  Cost = $3.7 million – $4.5 million 19

Remove all existing asphalt Replace with 6 inches of new asphalt Install centerline rumble strips Lane and shoulder width unchanged Slopes possibly widened 20

 Five-day detour (Monday – Friday)  State signed detour route via WIS 13, WIS 21, I-39  Local access maintained at all times Closure V. Oxford 21

 Meet with local officials: April 26, 2017  Public involvement meeting: May 16, 2017  Select preferred alternative: June 2017  Project design complete: August 2018  Construction currently scheduled: Summer 2019 22
