Highway 151 Project Is Underway

The Business Highway 151 Safety Improvement Program project got underway this past weekend. Construction began from Staley Avenue in the area of the Platteville Regional Chamber office and is progressing to the area of Four Seasons Landscaping. The intent of the project is to convert two lanes of Business Highway 151 to three lanes from Staley Avenue to Eastside Road and to convert four lanes to three lanes from Eastside Road to the divided four-lane road by A&W Restaurant. There will be pedestrian accommodations at the Water Street and Eastside Road intersections, along with a pedestrian path from NOVUS Auto Glass to Eastside Road. An informational meeting on the project is scheduled for 4 p.m. Monday, August 9th, at the Platteville Regional Chamber of Commerce Building.
