GERMANTOWN — Reconstruction of the roadway at County Trunk Highway M (Wasaukee Road) from the intersection at Freistadt Road to 1.5 miles north on the border of Washington County, Ozaukee County, Germantown and Mequon is complete and the road is now open to traffic.
According to a recent release, the roadway was designed and built to current standards to address safety for the traveling public as well as the volume and weight of traffic that regularly uses this route. The project was funded fully by Washington County.
Some landscaping and detour removal work will continue in the coming weeks under flagging conditions. Residents are advised to reduce speeds and give contractors plenty of space to complete their work.
The release also expressed gratitude from the county to all those who helped make this project come together.
"Washington County would like to thank Ozaukee County, the village of Germantown, and the city of Mequon for their collaboration to make this project a success and an improvement to safety for the traveling public," said the release. "Washington County would like to recognize Vinton Construction, their subcontractors, and Washington County Project Engineer Brad Abraham for their hard work to complete the project."
