Construction on WIS 81 between Lancaster and Platteville is scheduled to begin Friday, May 7. WIS 81 will remain open to local traffic only using flaggers.

Through traffic will be detoured using US 61 between Lancaster and Dickeyville, and US 151 between Dickeyville and Platteville.

Motorists are urged to drive with caution in the work zone and be prepared to slow down or stop for flag crews.

The $8.7 million project will replace more than 11 miles of the pavement on WIS 81 between the intersection of US 61 near Lancaster and Ridge Avenue in Platteville, and includes repairs on bridge structures across the Little Platte and Platte River.
