What's Happening in Greenfield, WI…

Drivers can expect to be diverted while the Wisconsin Department of Transportation starts construction on Highway 100. A portion of the stretch being rehabilitated passes through Greenfield.

According to officials, the work will start towards the end of August and most of it work will be happening around the Root River bridges and the northern part of Greenfield Avenue. The work is required because this particular stretch of highway has not been rehabilitated since 1999, and the pavement requires grading.

The main parts of the project include resurfacing the pavement and upgrading the signals system so that traffic flow is made easier and the major intersections are made safer to traverse. The officials also plan to include a bus stop and curb ramp so that everyone can use the corridor with ease.

Certain sections of the highway will have to be closed during construction. Poster printing can be used to inform motorists about detours.

The list of improvements being made include:

• Removing the asphalt layer, applying a base patch to the concrete pavement and laying a new layer of asphalt
• Replacing the traffic signals located at Oklahoma Avenue, Cleveland Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, and National Avenue
• Reconstructing the curbs at certain points so that they are in line with the newest standards laid out in the Americans with Disabilities Act
• Adding bridge deck overlays over Root River
