Work Completed in August 2025:
Remaining areas of old asphalt (8–9 inches deep) were milled and reclaimed. The top 5 inches of asphalt were milled and hauled to the Madison DOT Maintenance Yard, where they were crushed and blended with granular material to produce a base course in a 50/50 asphalt-to-granular mix. The remaining 3–4 inches of asphalt were reclaimed along with 4 inches of below-grade material.
An oil-based prime coat was sprayed over the road surface and covered with sand. This treatment bonds the asphalt to the gravel base.
Anticipated Work in September 2025:
Roadway maintenance, including pothole repairs and mowing of grass/weeds on shoulders.
Asphalt paving is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, near 220th Street on the northern end of the project. Weather and contractor schedule dependent. Moving road closures of up to three miles will be in place as paving operations progress southbound.
