Highway 49 from Waupaca to Depot Street in the Village of Scandinavia will be repaved, retaining walls constructed, and culverts replaced starting in July after the Iola Car Show.

Traffic impacts for the WIS 49, North Street (Waupaca) to Depot Street (Scandinavia) construction project include:

• Daily flagging operations and single-lane closures during construction.
• Gravel patches may be used at culvert replacement locations, they are planned to be paved by the end of the work week.
• A short-term detour (about 2-3 weeks) for the replacement of the large culvert at Nichol Creek and storm sewer replacement near Depot Street.
• The detour is US 10 to WIS 161.
• Larson Road may be closed (about 1-2 weeks) during Nichol Creek culvert work.
• During the construction of two retaining walls located about a half-mile north of County Q, single-lane conditions with temporary traffic signals will be used.
• Access to adjacent properties, including the Tomorrow River State Trail parking area, will be maintained during construction.
• Brief interruptions in access may occur temporarily at driveways.
• The contractor will be required to notify homeowners and businesses before construction.
