The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the city of Marshfield are conducting a public information meeting regarding the proposed improvements to South Central Avenue, between Wildwood Park and the Veterans Parkway in Marshfield.

A brief presentation is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. The remainder of the meeting will follow an open house format.
