Road reconstruction season is fast approaching. The Vilas County traffic safety commission reviewed those areas last week where motorists can expect delays and detours this summer.
One of the longest reconstruction areas will be 12.6 miles of Highway 70 east from Highway 45 to Divide Road in Forest County. This is expected to start in June and not be finished until sometime in August, but no detours will be involved.
One area questioned by Jim Egan, chairman of the town of Washington, was by East Anvil Lake road with a severe drop off on both sides of Highway 70 for approximately 500 feet to the west. It appears no guard rails will be installed but the Wisconsin DOT indicated they “will reach out” to further review the reasons.
