LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) – Expect to see busy streets around the City of La Crosse in the next few weeks in addition to the normal traffic.
The city’s Street Department has several projects they’re working on including street repair and utility work.
It means that drivers should expect to see barricades, traffic cones, and lane closures while crews are working on the projects.
The city asks drivers to use caution in and around any of the work zones.
Here is a look at some of the projects coming up:
-Currently underway, a contracted company is repainting centerlines, lane lines, bike lanes, and intersection marking in the city. Most of the work is being done at night to reduce the impact on traffic. It is expected to take about two weeks to complete.
-Starting Monday, August 8, the northbound and southbound lanes of traffic near the Copeland Ave. and Grove St. (2nd St. N.) intersection will be down to one lane for street maintenance work. No date was given for completion.
-Starting at 6:00 am on Monday, August 8, there will be a temporary lane closure of the outside eastbound traffic lane of State Rd./Hwy 33. The lane closure will be starting approximately 300 feet west of 26th St. and ending approximately 300 feet east of 26th St. Expect this lane closure to last until Monday, August 15.
-On Wednesday, August 10 only, beginning at 8:00 am, there’s a temporary closure of Bliss Rd. The closure starts at 29th St. S. and ends at Grandad Bluff Rd. The city said that the closure should last until around 3:00 pm.
-Drivers will start to see temporary No Parking signs posted as part of a chip sealing project on a number of city streets. The project is scheduled to run between August 8-10. Drivers should expect minimal delays. Here are the streets affected:
