Hwy. 33 Project to See End in October

One lane under the Interstate 43 bypass will close next week as construction crews pour final pavement as part of the Highway 33 project.

"Crews are setting forms to pour the final sections of the new deck by the end of next week," according to the Saukville weekly newsletter. "They will need to temporarily close one lane under the overpass for less than a day to place stone and binder oil on the slopes along the abutments. The work is scheduled for an October 2012 completion."

Port Washington City Engineer Rob Vanden Noven said it's likely much needed rain the area got during August is to blame for project delays; crews had hoped the project would be finished in August.

"The type of pavement marking they're installing is not paint," Vanden Noven said in an e-mail to Patch. "It is a highly reflective and long-lasting preformed plastic that is adhered to the pavement with epoxy. Bottom line is, it is very weather/moisture sensitive and takes weeks rather than days to install. The rain has also set back their paving several nights."
