The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is conducting a public information meeting to discuss proposed improvements to WIS 54 between WIS 80 and Wood County G in the towns of Cranmoor and Dexter.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at St. Joseph’s Church Hall, 4743 County Road D, Vesper, on Tuesday, May 19, 2009, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. A brief presentation is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. The remainder of the meeting will follow an open house format.
