- May 19 to June 9 – East Troy Electric Railroad will replace their crossing
- June 9 to mid/late July – Curb and Gutter, sidewalk, asphalt paving, pavement marking, signing, and restoration activities.
Traffic:
- Access to Dollar General can be made by taking WIS 20 west across County ES, using the median opening for Shell/McDonalds/Culvers, and going west on the WIS 20 EB lanes.
- Access to Shell/McDonalds/Culverts can be made using WIS 20 west across County ES to the median opening for the left turn like the current configuration. There are other accesses off County ES as well that will stay open.
- Access to the Oak Ridge Cemetery is available by using WIS 20 WB lanes.
- The I-43/WIS 20 interchange will remain open
- County ES will remain open but the right turn lane for County ES SB to WIS 20 WB will close for sidewalk and grading.
