US 8 pavement project

A $4.43 million pavement replacement project is underway on US 8 in Oneida County, from North Rifle Road to WIS 47 in Rhinelander. Work began Aug. 7 and is scheduled for completion in late October, depending on weather and construction progress.

To address what the Department of Transportation said is signs of deterioration, the project will remove the existing asphalt pavement and replace with new asphalt, replace culverts, make spot repairs to inlets, outlets, curb and gutter; replace the railroad crossing and place new pavement markings.

During construction, traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction with one 48-hour detour for the replacement of the rail crossing. For more information on traffic impacts and project updates for all of the north-central region visit projects.511wi.gov.
