Project manager gives update on US 14/Humes project

road-closed-5

The US 14/Humes road project has caused some changes to a major traffic point in Janesville.

However project lead Lance Wagner says that at the end of August traffic will be able to travel all the way through the zone. Following the end of August, the last major work left to be done will be to connect the two interstate ramps. The northbound ramps will close for 21 days, followed by the southbound ramps being closed for 21 days.

Rainfall like the Janesville area can sometimes impact construction projects. However Wagner says that 14 and the interstate are unique in that they are self contained systems meant to handle a 100 year flood, then the rain dissipates.
