State Highway 67 to be closed to through traffic from April 11 until mid-July
State Highway 67 will be closed to all but local traffic between the villages of Dousman and Eagle from April to mid-July.
Ten miles of roadway will be resurfaced between U.S. 18 and state Highway 59. The state Department of Transportation announced the $2.57 million project on April 5. The contract was awarded to Rock Road. The project is scheduled to begin April 11 and be completed sometime in July.
The project will include milling and replacing 2 to 2½ inches of existing deteriorated pavement, removing and replacing outdated and damaged signs, removing and replacing outdated or damaged beam guard sections and end terminals, installing high friction surface treatment on three curves between Highway ZZ and Piper Road to improve safety, and re-installing center line rumble strips.

A detour will be routed to state Highway 83. The DOT said that access on Highway 67 will be maintained to all residences and businesses, as well as to the Kettle Moraine State Forest.
There will also be two short-term closures as a result of the construction. The first will be from County Highway ZZ to Piper Road. During that time, County Highway X to Piper Road will remain open.
The other closure will be at the crossing of the Glacial Drumlin State Trail for ramp improvements.
