As Main Street and Century Avenue get closer and closer to
being finished, the DOT would like to remind citizens and visitors that there
is still a NO THRU TRAFFIC restriction in place. This means that unless you are
patronizing a Waunakee business or home in the reconstruction area, drivers are
NOT ALLOWED to completely pass through construction zones from one end to
another. The Waunakee Police Department has the authority to ticket drivers who
violate this no thru traffic restriction. The Village of Waunakee and DOT would
also like to remind citizens and visitors that even though some roads look
“finished,” they in fact are still a work in progress. Keep in mind that as the
number of cars driving in the roundabout and downtown area increases, the ability of workers to complete their job in a timely
and safe manner decreases. Please consider this when deciding which
route to take to get to your destination.
We are glad to see that people are excited about driving on
the new roads and observing the work in progress, but please keep in mind that
we still have a few weeks left of construction. Please continue to use the
posted local and regional detour routes for the remainder of this project. Construction
is to be completed and roads reopened in mid-September. Waunakee directional
signage from the interstate and surrounding highways will be restored upon
project completion.
