Review purpose and needs for the project Identify alternatives (solutions) to address the

needs Discuss next steps

3

Regional and local traffic Approximately 3,700 vehicles per day 16% trucks

Constructed in 1998 Existing asphalt 8 inches thick asphalt 24 crashes in 5 year period Run-off-the-road crashes present Ice and snow primary factors

4

Purpose Maximize the life of the pavement Improve safety

Needs Deteriorating pavement (cracking and rutting) Four culvert pipes in poor condition Deteriorating railroad crossing pavement

5

6

7

8

Four culverts are in poor condition Proposing to replace three Two by railroad in Oxford One by 5th Drive Repair one 1 mile east of 5th Drive

Size/location unchanged

9

10

Resurface Recycle Replacement

All alternatives include: Culvert pipe repair Railroad crossing surface replacement Five-day detour required (WIS 13, WIS 21 and I-39) Centerline rumble strips Safety edge installation

11

12

Reduce head-on fatal/injury crashes by 44% Increase “awareness” Inattentive driving Limited Visibility Rain, snow or fog

Low installation cost

Not installed near intersections or commercial driveways

13

6% reduction in all crashes Low cost of installation Reduces hazard of low shoulders Creates “smooth transition” back onto roadway

14

Normal Edge Safety Edge

15

Resurface Mill (remove) 2 inches of pavement Place 1.75 inches of new pavement

Temporarily eliminates rutting/cracking. Underlying issues not addressed.

Limited traffic impacts (flagging operation, 5 day detour)

Cost = $1.5 million – $2 million

16

Remove 2 inches of asphaltPlace 1.75 inches of asphaltInstall centerline rumble stripsLane and shoulder width unchanged

17

Recycle Mill (remove) 2 inches of asphalt Cold-in-place recycle 4 inches of asphalt Place 1.75 inches of new asphalt

Addresses more of the rutting and cracking issues Limited traffic impacts (flagging operation, five-day

detour) Cost = $2.4 million – $3 million

18

Remove 2 inches of asphaltRecycle 4 inches of asphaltPlace 1.75 inches of asphaltInstall centerline rumble stripsLane and shoulder width unchanged

19

Replacement Remove all pavement Replace with new pavement

Removes pavement not past its useful life (wastes money) Possible real estate impacts (slope widening) Greater traffic impact (four-month detour) Cost = $3.7 million – $4.5 million

20

Remove all existing asphaltReplace with 6 inches of new asphaltInstall centerline rumble stripsLane and shoulder width unchangedSlopes possibly widened

21

Five-day detour (Monday – Friday) State signed detour route via WIS 13, WIS 21, I-39 Local access maintained at all times
