Lincoln County US 51 road construction update
In Lincoln County, US Hwy. 51 is under construction from the Marathon County line to Lincoln County K (Exit 211) in Merrill.
Crews will complete milling in the northbound lanes of US Hwy. 51, north of WIS 64 for now, beginning the week of April 11, 2022. Grading crews will continue recycling existing concrete pavement that exists beneath the existing asphalt, south of the Wisconsin River.
One lane of US 51 is closed in each direction from the Marathon County line to County K. Traffic is counter directional in the southbound lanes to enable construction in the northbound lanes. Traffic will continuously stay in this configuration until July 1, 2022.
The project is targeted for completion by November 15, 2022.
