(SEH), will hold a public involvement meeting at the date and time listed below. The meeting is regarding the roadway project on US 8 within the village of Cameron, WI. This meeting is for property owners and others interested in the project. • Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. o A brief presentation is planned for 5:45 p.m. • Date: Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025 • Location: Mosaic Technologies -- Mosaic Conference Room 401 S. 1st St., Cameron, WI 54822 The informational meeting is meant to provide the public with an opportunity to learn about and comment on the proposed project. Following the presentation, the meeting will follow an open-house format during which representatives from WisDOT and SEH will be available to answer questions about the proposed scope of work. WisDOT is proposing to reconstruct the existing roadway with 8.5 inches of concrete pavement. Existing curb ramps will be replaced to meet current Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. New sidewalk will be added to complete the existing network. A two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL) is proposed to be installed from Sunnyside Avenue to County W. Storm sewer along the route is also proposed to be replaced as are the existing traffic signals at the intersection of US 8/County W/County SS. During construction, work also is proposed at the railroad crossing just north of the intersection of US 8/County W/County SS. The proposed work at the rail crossing surface includes signal replacement and the addition of a 100-foot concrete median and new crossing surface. The village of Cameron also plans to replace the sanitary sewer and water mainline utilities and services along the roadway. Construction is proposed to be completed with this segment of US 8 closed to through traffic and detoured. A proposed signed detour for through traffic on existing County SS would utilize County OO south of Cameron, US 53 and County O in Rice Lake. Existing US 8 traffic is proposed to be detoured on County W. Work within the intersection of US 8/County SS/County W is proposed to be staged to maintain traffic in the area as much as possible. A short-term full closure of County SS, north of the intersection with County W, may be required to complete work on the railroad crossing surface. Temporary pedestrian facilities are proposed to be provided where existing sidewalks are impacted by work. The contractor would be required to provide access to any properties along the work zone, however, there may be very short periods where driveway access is disrupted.
