County Highway U in the towns of Jefferson and Wells in Monroe County, between Nemo Avenue in Cashton and County Highway XU, 7.9 miles in length, will be restricted to alternating one lane of traffic beginning Wednesday, June 4, and continuing for about two weeks. 

The lane restrictions are necessary to facilitate shoulder paving.  

Advance notice signs will be posted.  No formal detour will be established. Highway users should be prepared for delays of up to 30 minutes. Local residents will have access through the duration of the project, and emergency response vehicles will be accommodated.  

Also, a bituminous surface treatment, or “chip seal,” is scheduled for late July/early August on County Highway U between Nemo Avenue and Highway 71 in Norwalk.

For more information, contact the Monroe County Highway Department at (608) 269-8740 or highways@co.monroe.wi.us.
