Paving is done, but construction crews need to complete finishing work

Even though paving is complete, State Highway 29/35 from US Highway 10 in Prescott to County Road F remains closed to through traffic, so construction crews can complete pavement marking, signing, and shoulder and sidewalk work. That is anticipated to take two weeks.

The work is part of a Wisconsin Department of Transportation pavement replacement project from Prescott to River Falls. The stretch of State Highway 29/35 from US Highway 10 to County Road F closed to through traffic on Aug. 9. County Road F to Cemetery Road in River Falls has been closed since construction began on May 10. Traffic is being detoured via US 10 and State Highway 65.

Construction on the entire project is scheduled for completion in early November. The schedule is dependent on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.
