• Existing storm sewer outfall floods

parts of St. Anne Cemetery

• Church Hill Rd./ Main St. Intersection
• Traffic signals
• Intersection geometry does not satisfy

current traffic demands

Proposed Project

• General improvements
• New concrete pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk throughout project
• Village to add multi-use path along east and north side of WIS 35
• Church Hill Road/Main Street Intersection
• Traffic signals
• Minor adjustments to intersection geometry
• Intersection to County C
• Roadway cross section will remain relatively the same
• Intersection to Laser Drive
• New utilities
• Improvements to storm sewer near St. Anne Cemetery
• Parking lane will be removed from east side of roadway to make room for

proposed multi-use path

Roadway Cross Sections

Church Hill Road (WIS 35)

Multi-use Path Details

• Cross section
• Asphalt pavement
• 10 feet wide (reduced

to 8 feet between Laser Drive and Schachtner Street)

• 2-foot shoulder on

each side

• Connects with

existing path at Laser Drive

• ADA compliant

slopes

Maintenance of Traffic

• Construction staging
• Stages will limit closures along entire project
• Stages will allow continued access across Apple River Bridge
• Stage 1 - Construction on Church Hill Road (WIS 35)
• Church Hill Road closed to traffic from intersection to Laser Drive
• Parent Street closed to traffic from intersection to ±100 feet south of

intersection

• Detour using Lagrandeur Road and 190th Avenue
• Access to residents and businesses on Church Hill Road will be

maintained through north end of closure.

• Access to Parent Street from 180th Street/WIS 35 intersection

Maintenance of Traffic

• Stage 2 - Construction on Main Street (WIS 35/BUS 64)
• WIS 35/BUS 64 closed to traffic from Church Hill Road to Lagrandeur

Road

• Detour using Lagrandeur Road and 190th Avenue
• Access to residents and businesses will be maintained
• Stage 3 – Construction on WIS 35/BUS 64 between

Lagrandeur Road and County C

• Lane shifts and temporary widening to accommodate single lane bi-

directional traffic
