Road Construction Project on U.S. Highway 18/151 To Resume

Major road construction work resumed on U.S. Highway 18/151 after an Independence Day holiday break. Between Mt. Horeb, Verona and Madison traffic will be one-lane-only on U.S. Highway 18/151 for most of the project’s duration. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is replacing the concrete and laying new asphalt over the pavement. Project Manager Cody Kammerzelt says the project is ahead of schedule. The overall project will continue through 2024, but Kammerzelt said the later portion will not impact traffic as much because it will mostly consist of cleanup. WisDOT will host a public meeting on Tuesday from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm at Verona City Hall to answer any questions the public might have.
