New Detour: 6 Mile Road Opens, Now Highway 32 Is Closed

CALEDONIA, WI — Construction work on 6 Mile Road and Highway 32 is entering a new phase, and where one set of barricades go down, another goes up.

First, the good news for motorists: The barricades are being transferred to open up Highway 31, and the traffic lights are working at the intersection of 6 Mile Road and Highway 31.

Now the bad news: The intersection of 6 Mile Road and Douglas Ave. is now closed. Access is open to Derango's from Highway 31, and construction crews are cutting the pavement by the Corner Connection blocking that intersection.

For this week, authorities in Caledonia are reporting that motorists can cross Highway 32 at 5 Mile Rd. Box culvert and intersection work north of 5 Mile Road along with the closed intersection will not allow you to go north from 5 Mile Road.

Authorities say if you need to access a home or business on Highway 32 between 5 Mile Road and 6 Mile Road, to use the side roads of Meadow, Tabor, Harvest or Matthew.
