US 14 detour in western Dane County begins June 22

June 18, 2009

Road is open to businesses and residences in the work zone

US 14 - between Cross Plains and Mazomanie - in western Dane County will be detoured to through-traffic beginning June 22. The highway will remain open to local traffic and motorists will still have access to businesses and residences within the work zone.

“US 14 is open for business and will remain open through the summer,” said WisDOT project supervisor Jeff Gust. “We encourage motorists to support their local businesses during this challenging time.”

Through-traffic will be detoured using WIS 12, WIS 19, and WIS 78.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) added incentives for early completion in response to local concerns over potential impacts to the communities. The project is expected to be completed by the end of August 2009.

The US 14 resurfacing project began April 15 and extends eight miles between the west village limits of Cross Plains through Black Earth to the east village limits of Mazomanie. The $5.7 million project includes the reconstruction of the WIS 78 intersection.
