Highway 151 construction project finishes on time and on budget

A two-year highway improvement project in Calumet County is now substantially complete.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says crews finished replacing eight aging structures along Highway 151 and Highway 55, between the southern Calumet County line and the northern village limits of Stockbridge.

The $4.2 million-dollar project included replacing one bridge, six box culverts and one pipe culvert, along with guardrail improvements.

The work began in August of 2025 and was completed on time and on budget.

State transportation officials say the new structures will improve drainage, enhance roadway safety and reduce the need for future maintenance.
