Road Map: Janesville Construction Likely to Start April 16

The following is from construction engineers in charge of the Janesville Road reconstruction project:

"On Thursday, March 29, a preconstruction meeting for the Janesville Road project was held with Musson Brothers, Inc. (the prime contractor) and the various subcontractors to discuss the issues involved in the construction of the project.

"At the meeting the contractor presented a tentative construction schedule to representatives of Waukesha County, the City of Muskego and R.A. Smith National, Inc. The reconstruction of Janesville Road is tentatively scheduled to begin April 16, 2012. Please note that as with most of the dates that will be detailed in this update and all future updates, April 16 is a tentative date that may be affected by weather, contractors’ planning and production schedules being incorrect, or any of a myriad of other situations. Once the actual construction start date is finalized by the contractor, they will place message boards at the east and west ends of the project one week prior to starting work, informing you of the actual start date.

"The first activity that the contractor will be working on is the installation of a temporary widening lane to allow for traffic to be moved to the north side of CTH L so that construction can start on the eastbound lanes of the roadway.   In addition to the widening of the roadway, the contractor will also be on site working on the clearing and grubbing of the trees that will need to be removed for the project.   

"During the week of April 9, R.A. Smith National staff will be on site beginning to layout the location of the widening lanes, marking driveway and side street reconstruction limits and identifying the limits of the clearing and grubbing that will be required.

"Due to a problem that occurred with the relocation of the AT&T lines on Janesville Road and Glen Cove Court, the installation of the temporary traffic signals at this intersection will need to be installed prior to the April 16 start date. This work is anticipated to start April 4 or 5. Please exercise caution when driving through this intersection until the work to install the temporary traffic signals is completed. This work should not adversely affect traffic on CTH L.

"The R.A. Smith National construction field office will be established during the week of April 9. Please note that regular office hours will not be scheduled as the staff will be on the project site a majority of the time. The field office will be located at S73W16582 Janesville Rd. The field office telephone number will be (414) 422-4751.   

"Once the field office is established, you may still contact Mr. Mike Mentzel at mike.mentzel@rasmithnational.com or by phone at 262-317-3338 with questions or concerns. You may also contact Mr. Ed Hinrichs of Waukesha County at 262-548-7740 or by e-mail at EHinrichs@waukeshacounty.gov."
