The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is working to resurface the existing pavement of approximately 11.7 miles of WIS 80 between the South Fork Baraboo River Structure and County C in Vernon County and Richland County. The resurfacing of WIS 80 will increase the longevity of the roadway and the safety of the traveling public.

Improvements include:​

• Pavement resurfacing (milling 2-inches of existing pavement and overlaying with 3.5-inches of Hot Mix Asphalt pavement)
• Replacing existing guardrail, pavement marking, rumble strips, and other incidentals
• Grading work will be necessary at the guardrail replacement locations for end terminal grading

Proposed structure work consists of the rehabilitation of 9 structures.

The work at each structure is as follows:

• WIS 80 bridge over Pine River: Concrete bridge deck overlay, concrete surface repair to piers, slab fascia, and abutments.
• WIS 80 bridge over Melancthon Creek: Headwall repair/replacement and slope improvements.
