S. 76th Street (CTH U), S. Creekview Court to W. High Street Reconstruction Project
This is a Milwaukee County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) project.
The proposed project will reconstruct S. 76th Street (CTH U) from approximately 500 feet north of S. Creekview Court to approximately 600 feet north of W. High Street, gapping the project limits of the recent reconstruction project at S. 76th Street (CTH U) and STH 100. S. 76th Street will remain a 2-lane undivided rural roadway. New pavement markings will delineate a two-way left-turn lane from Carma Labs to the Franklin little league baseball fields. On-street bicycle accommodations are proposed throughout the length of the project by paving the existing gravel shoulders. In addition, a sidewalk is proposed on the east side of S. 76th Street from Carma Labs to the Franklin little league baseball fields. The proposed pavement surface will be 8-inches of concrete, matching the existing segments to the north and south of the project limits. Construction is anticipated to begin in the Spring of 2027 and is estimated to be substantially complete in Fall of 2027, weather permitting.
