City View Rd/Man Mound Rd to CTH U

CTH T
Sauk County

PROJECT INFORMATION

The Sauk County Highway Department is proposing to improve the safety of approximately 4.6 miles of CTH T from City View Road/Man Mound Road to CTH U. See the attached project location map. There have been a high number of crashes along this section of roadway.  The run-off the road crash rate for this section of CTH T is 96 crashes per hundred million vehicle miles traveled (HMVMT).  The 
run-off the road crash rate with severity K (fatality), A (incapacitating injury), or B (non-incapacitating injury) is 53 crashes per HMVMT.

Proposed improvements include:
1)   Installing grooved epoxy edgeline pavement markings
2)   Installing centerline rumble strips
3)   Installing specified horizontal curve warning signs
4)   Paving the inside and outside shoulders of specific horizontal curves

PROPOSED TRAFFIC IMPACTS

Construction is currently scheduled to begin in the Spring/Summer of 2023 and is expected to be 
completed within 4-5 weeks.

CTH T will remain open to thru traffic during construction through the use of flagging operations. 
Temporary  driveway  closures  may  be  necessary  during  parts  of  the  construction  process. 
Construction staff will contact homeowners and businesses in advance before closing a driveway. If  
you  have  special  access  needs  during  construction  please  let  us  know  so  these  can  be 
considered as much as possible and, if needed, included in the bidding documents.
