BUCHANAN — A portion of County Highway Z east of Kaukauna will be closed to through traffic beginning Monday, April 28, 2025, for a reconstruction project.
Work begins at Haas Road, and local traffic will be maintained to all properties within the project limits.
The closure could last into October, 2025.
A detour will be posted and will utilize Brown County D, County CE and Wisconsin Highway 55.
Brown County will be closing the intersection of Brown County D and County Z for approximately one month and maintain an additional detour during this period.
The existing pavement is nearing the end of its useful life, according to the Outagamie County Highway Department, and it is experiencing cracking that has caused settling and poor ride quality.
Steep, sub-standard ditch slopes exist throughout the project limits, creating potential safety issues.
Poor drainage is present in several locations along the project. The proposed improvements will reconstruct County Z to address the deficiencies.
