To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers signed a $4.3 million contract to improve WIS 73 and WIS 80, between Poplar Street and the WIS 73 and WIS 80 intersection, in the city of Pittsville, Wood County. Work is scheduled to begin April 27, 2026.
Haas Sons, Inc. is the prime contractor for the project. The work will consist of reconstructing the intersection of WIS 73 and WIS 80 to a roundabout. The intersection will be regraded and new storm sewer will be installed. WIS 80 through the city of Pittsville will be resurfaced and curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet current ADA standards. Curb and gutter replacements and sidewalk work will also be completed throughout the project. Two culverts will be replaced with the project on both WIS 73 east of the intersection and WIS 80 south of Pittsville.
During construction, WIS 80 will be closed and detoured via County X, WIS 54, and WIS 13.
