County Highway Z in the town of Wellington, 900 feet east of Highway 131, will close Wednesday, Sept. 29, to facilitate the replacement of a bridge over Poe Creek. 

The Monroe County Highway Department expects that construction will be complete and the highway will reopen by mid-November 2021.

Advance notice signs will be posted. No formal detour will be established. 

Larson Construction of Chippewa Falls was awarded a $351,000 contract to construct the project, which is funded by Monroe County.
