Projects

The Village Board awarded the 2025 Road and Utility project contract to Payne & Dolan, Inc. on June 17, 2025. The Capitol Drive project will be from 200 feet east of Sussex Street to Clark Street. The W. Wisconsin Avenue project will be from the railroad tracks to Burroughs Drive. The work is anticipated to start in mid-July and substantially completed by October 1, 2025.

Along Capitol Drive, the work includes relay of the water main, catch basin and inlet replacements, spot concrete curb and gutter removal and replacement, spot concrete sidewalk and ADA ramp removal and replacement, and pavement striping. The water services will be replaced from the water main to the curb stop valve box which is near the property line. The proposed reconstruction will include removal and replacement existing asphalt pavement. The existing street width will remain the same as most curb and gutter will remain as is.

Along W. Wisconsin Avenue, the work includes removal and replacement of the asphalt pavement, spot concrete sidewalk removal and replacement, and pavement striping.

During the project, a construction inspector will be onsite to observe construction. You may contact this inspector if you have comments, questions, or concerns with the project.

Parking and Access

Before actual construction starts, the Contractor will be issuing a notice 24-hours  in advance to properties along the construction work. After that notice, the utility and street work will begin. Traffic will attempt to be maintained as much as possible during the construction. There may be intermittent times when no access will be allowed depending on what work is being completed. One way traffic is proposed to be maintained by Contractor. Please observe “No Parking” signs to assist the Contractor in getting the work completed.

Water service repairs

The contractor and inspector will coordinate with property owners with more advanced notices regarding short term water outages to businesses and residential homes needed for water main cross over connections and water service replacements.

Garbage and Recycling

During the street reconstruction, Garbage and Recycling collection will continue on the same day that it is usually collected. One way traffic flow will be maintained. Your carts may need to be moved to the end of the street if the garbage truck cannot get through the construction project. 

Street Reconstruction

The plan is to preserve as much concrete curb and gutter as possible. The Contractor will attempt to not disturb fences or retaining walls that are located adjacent to the sidewalk. If you have any plantings or landscaping that you want to re-plant please have them removed before the construction begins. Also, you may trim any limbs or bushes that overhang the street. The Contractor will not be responsible for broken branches that overhang into the street.

One way traffic is planned to be maintained during the project. Please do not drive on the new pavement until the barricades have been removed from the entrances. The new street will be opened as soon as possible. The Contractor is allowed a certain number of work days. Keeping the street temporarily closed after the pavement is completed and cured prevents the pavement and concrete driveways from cracking and failing. After the street is open, there may be seeding and miscellaneous work to finish. The schedule of this project will depend greatly upon the weather.

Street and utility reconstruction is a major undertaking. We appreciate your tolerance to the noise, dust, dirt, mud, and the overall inconvenience of reconstruction.

If you are a business owner with employees or customers, property manager or landlord and your property is rented to tenants, please pass along the applicable information from this letter to your employees, customers, or tenants as soon as possible.
