US 8 Roadway Project Information 1580-00-02 Page 1 Project ID 1580-00-02 Cameron – Ladysmith County SS S to 480’ East of County SS N US 8 Barron County Purpose of Project The purpose of the proposed project is to address the deficiencies on US 8 to provide a safe and efficient transportation system. The need for the proposed project is to address the deteriorating US 8 pavement, which was last resurfaced in 2003, update substandard curb ramps, drainage deficiencies, sanitary and water utilities and railroad crossing signals. Project Information The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to reconstruct US 8 within the project limits with concrete pavement. Curb & gutter would be replaced to improve drainage. Curb ramps at designated sidewalk crossings would be replaced to meet current ADA standards. Some new sidewalk is also proposed to be added. A Two Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL) is proposed to be installed from Sunnyside Ave to the intersection with County W. Traffic signals at the intersection of US 8 / County W / County SS are also proposed to be replaced. Work would take place on the railroad crossing on CTH SS including replacing the crossing surface and signals. The Village plans to replace sanitary sewer and water mainlines and services as part of the project. See the attached project location map on the next page. The black lines represent the anticipated edge or roadway, back of curb and gutter, and/or sidewalk. Larger displays will be presented at the Public Involvement Meeting. Project Location The proposed project is approximately 0.9 miles long along existing US 8, starting from the south intersection with County SS, along US 8 to the north, ending on US 8 just to the east of the north intersection with County SS.
