WASHBURN COUNTY -- The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has announced the closure of County Trunk Highway A (CTH A) at US Highway 53 (USH 53) due to safety concerns arising from the temporary intersection created by ongoing WisDOT projects.
Washburn County residents are advised of a significant road closure affecting CTH A from its junction with USH 53 to CTH H. This closure is a precautionary measure due to safety issues related to the temporary intersection formed as part of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's ongoing project on USH 53.
According to Brian Danielsen, Washburn County Highway Commissioner, the closure of CTH A will necessitate a detour via CTH H, with no access available directly from USH 53. This detour arrangement is designed to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians during the construction phase.
The closure is anticipated to remain in effect until the completion of the USH 53 project, which is scheduled for this fall. Residents and commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly and to follow designated detour signs for a smooth and safe travel experience.
For further information and updates regarding this road closure, individuals are encouraged to stay informed through official announcements from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Washburn County authorities.
The closure of CTH A at USH 53 underscores the commitment to prioritizing public safety during infrastructure development. Washburn County residents are reminded to stay updated on road closures and detours to minimize disruptions and ensure a safe travel environment.
