⚠️ Emergency Alert 05-07-2025: Our attempts to block a portion of the road to allow for car traffic is not working on Francis avenue. It is come to our attention that large trucks have been moving barricades and crossing over the bridge on Francis Avenue. We are a small village and cannot monitor traffic continuously. We understand that the ongoing construction is an inconvenience, however, your safety is of upmost important to us. Therefore, we have decided to shut down thru traffic over the bridge on Francis. We hope everyone understands this decision and use alternates routes until we can reopen the bridge.

2024/2025 Hwy 28 Resurfacing/Cascade Bridge Project

Recently the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) held a meeting with local officials from Sheboygan County and village/townships along a 13.4 mile stretch of Hwy 28 to discuss an upcoming project to address pavement deterioration, outdated guardrails, and replacing the bridge over the North Branch of the Milwaukee River in Cascade. The project planning is at the very initial stages with many details to be figured out, but we wanted to give village residents an update on this upcoming project. 

Details: 

  • The project will be done on a 13.4 mile stretch of Hwy 28 from the south Sheboygan County line to the Hwy 57 intersection in Waldo. 
  • Mill/overlay of the existing asphalt pavement
  • Beam guard replacements
  • Culvert repairs and replacements
  • Shoulder aggregate
  • Pavement markings 
  • Replacement of bridge over the North Branch of the Milwaukee River in Cascade
  • More details can be found on the project website: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/projects/by-region/ne/wis28cascade/default.aspx

The project is tentatively scheduled for 2025, with the possibility of advancing it to 2024 based on other project completions. 

Hwy 28 will be open to traffic during the majority of the project, as they will work on one side at a time with flaggers to direct traffic. The onlly time they will need to close Hwy 28 will be during the demolition and construction of the new bridge in Cascade. The DOT will be reaching out to local residents impacted by the construction over the coming months.
