US 53 South, Bridges over Chetek River, County I and 20th Avenue

Barron County

Traffic Impacts

Southbound US 53 remains open to traffic, but:

  • Motorists will encounter single-lane closures on southbound US 53 and a reduced speed limit of 60 mph in work zones.
  • Motorists also will encounter single-lane closures on County I for the duration of the bridge replacement project.
  • Southbound US 53 is tentatively scheduled to be closed at County I from 10 p.m. Monday, May 4 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 5, so girders can be set on the bridge over County I.
    • Southbound US 53 traffic will be detoured via the off- and on-ramps at the County I interchange.
