Traffic impacts/detours

To accommodate the construction activities, and for the safety of the workers, we ask that you please be aware of the construction equipment and workers and limit the use of the street during construction hours (7am – 7pm).  The streets will remain open to vehicular travel throughout the project.  However, drivers may encounter lane restrictions and possible minor delays during the construction.  The Contractor will make every effort to provide access to driveways during the project and at the end of each day.  Also, please be aware that travel within the construction zone will be at your own risk.   

In order to provide the best possible asphalt surface, and for the safety of the workers, the street will be closed to ALL traffic during the placement of the second and FINAL layer of asphalt surface, and for a few hours after completion until the pavement has sufficiently cooled.  The exact paving schedule is not known at this time, so please watch for progress updates on the Village web site, the activity of the asphalt paving crew and vehicles, and signs posted on the street closure (barricades). In order to minimize any potential damage to the new asphalt surface, we ask your cooperation to restrict your vehicular travel until the barricades are pulled back and the street is again open to traffic.

LRIP - Local Roads Improvement Program / MSID - Municipal Street Improvement Discretionary Funding


Every two years the Village has the opportunity to apply for LRIP and MSID grant funding. These grants assist local governments in improving seriously deteriorating county highways, town roads, and city and village streets. LRIP is a reimbursement program which pays up to 50% of total eligible costs, with local governments providing the balance.

County Highway M - Oncken Rd to STH 113 


Project Location

County Highway M between Oncken Road and State Highway 113 in Westport  (Click here for map)


Project Overview

Dane County has contracted with KL Engineering to complete the environmental and design phases for improvements proposed to CTH M from Oncken Rd to STH 113 in Dane County. The existing roadway is highly congested, especially during weekday commuter travel times. Residential and commercial development is planned along and near the corridor, traffic volumes are expected to increase along with congestion and potential safety issues.

KL Engineering & the design team have investigated a range of options for improving the safety and capacity of CTH M. The selected alternative includes:

  • Expansion of the roadway from the two-lane section to a four-lane section with an urban median from Oncken Road to Willow Road. 
  • Resurfacing of the roadway from Willow Road to STH 113.
  • Improvements to intersections.
  • An additional bridge over Six Mile Creek, reconstruction of the existing bridge and expansion of the existing Dorn Creek box culvert.
  • An off-road, multi-use trail connecting Governor Nelson State Park to WIS 113.
  • A new structure over Sixmile Creek for westbound traffic, re-decking the existing structure over Sixmile Creek for eastbound traffic and expanding the existing Dorn Creek box culvert.

The Town of Westport and Village of Waunakee are also providing input in the project design.

The project is in the Final Design phase. A Public Involvement Meeting (PIM) was held September 20, 2022 and the final PIM will be in the Spring 2023. Construction is expected to begin in the Fall of 2023 and continue through the Fall of 2024.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PROJECTS

Chip Seal

Chip Sealing


The Village will be chip sealing several streets to prolong the life of the roadways. For a map of streets, click here.

Chip Sealing is a pavement surface treatment that combines one or more layer(s) of asphalt with one or more layer(s) of fine aggregate. Chip sealing is typically used on roads carrying lower traffic volumes, and the process is often referred to as "asphaltic surface treatment". 

Chip sealing  consists of evenly distributing a thin base of hot bitumen or asphalt onto an existing pavement and then embedding finely graded aggregate into it. The aggregate is evenly distributed over the seal spray, then rolled into a smooth pavement surface. It can keep pavement in good condition longer by sealing out water and repairing minor cracks.

Sidewalk Repairs

In an attempt to ensure that sidewalks are reasonably safe for public travel, each year the Village engineering department administers a Sidewalk Safety Program. The Village Board has established the criteria used for determining unsafe or defective sidewalks and the Village staff inspects the public sidewalks within the Village right-of-way for defects or unsafe conditions based on the established criteria.

If your sidewalk was marked for repairs, you, as a property owner have a couple of options.  First, the Village will do the repairs as part of the Sidewalk Repair Project.  The Village shares the incurred cost of the Village-implemented repair with the homeowner.  Property owners will be assessed 50% of the incurred costs of the repairs and these costs will be collected using the special assessment process. The proposed cost of replacements will be determined after the inspection are complete and the construction contract has been awarded.  The final costs and assessments will be mailed to property owners after the work has been completed. 

Alternatively, property owners may elect to complete the repairs themselves; however, the repairs will need to be completed within 20 days of the notification.  Please be advised that you are strongly encouraged to hire a qualified concrete contractor (as determined by the Village), and the work must be completed in accordance with the Village Standard Specifications.   Also, you or your contractor are required to first obtain a Street Opening Permit for the repairs, and if the repairs are not done properly they will be completed by the Village, and assessed to you as discussed above.  Please note that property owners will NOT be reimbursed for any cost of repairs completed on your own. 

We appreciate your cooperation and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Aaron Jahncke, Village Engineer at (608) 849-6469, or by email .
