New Berlin Construction Projects For Spring 2021

NEW BERLIN, WI—This construction season, the City will be doing a mixture of roadway resurfacing, parking lot resurfacing, and crack sealing projects.

As part of the Calhoun Road Reconstruction Project, Calhoun Road from National Avenue to Beloit Road will be closed to through traffic which started on Monday. The roadway will remain closed throughout the project, which is expected to be completed in late-September. A detour route utilizing Beloit Road and National Avenue is shown below:

Construction is expected to be completed by late-August. The work will include; constructing 12-foot driving lanes, 5-foot paved shoulders, 2-foot gravel shoulders, lowering the hill south of Salentine Drive by about 3-4 feet at its crest, and constructing bioswales in some areas for storm water management.

During the project the road will be closed to through traffic, but phased for access at all times to properties along the route.

The City will be reconstructing the intersection of Sunny Slope Road and Grange Avenue. The project is expected to start in mid-June 2021, after the end of the school year, and be completed by the end of November 2021.

Partial intersection closures due to utility relocations are expected prior to the project. The work will include; widening of the intersection to include a through, left, and right turn lane on each approach, traffic signals, a pedestrian path on the west side of Sunny Slope Road from Nicolet Drive to Grange Avenue, and creating a right-out only access to the Grange Avenue Frontage Road. The intersection will be closed to traffic throughout the project.

2021 Roadway Rehabilitation

In 2021 the City will be resurfacing over 5 miles of roadway. Also included in this project is the resurfacing of three municipal parking lots or driveways. This project is expected to start in late April, and is expected to be completed by late September. Work in any particular area of the project will most likely not span this entire time, and an area-specific schedule will be posted as it becomes available. The roadways within this project will remain open to local traffic at all times, but may be closed to through traffic.
