There will be no highway work beginning Friday July 1st through July 4th. Utilities may be working outside of the right of way away from traffic. Beginning the week of July 4th, the tentative plan is to close the left west and east- bound lanes from Port Washington State Bank to Market street to facilitate construction of new storm sewer in the median. These lanes will remain closed during the evening and weekend hours as well. The overhead utility relocates should be completed by the week of July 11.
As always, please slow down and watch for construction equipment and personnel when driving through the project limits. Proceed with extreme caution.
DOT Field Office: 217 N. Freeman Drive (St. John's Church), Port Washington.

Heat can kill. That's why Wisconsin Emergency Management and the National Weather Service are reminding people of the dangers associated with extreme heat and to promote safety measures.
Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. From 2000 to 2009, excessive heat claimed an average of 162 lives a year across the country.
Summer heat waves have been the biggest weather-related killers in Wisconsin for the past 50 years, far exceeding tornadoes and severe storms.
The Saukville Fire Department encourages families and individuals to prepare for a safe and memorable Fourth of July by practicing safe grilling and leaving the fireworks to the professionals. Supervise children as they play with sparklers and other devices.
Mark Your Calendar! Saturday July 9th at 1 p.m. at the Saukville Fire House, we will have a "Wet Down" Ceremony to welcome 2 additions to our fleet of vehicles. We will wet down, engine 362 and ambulance 351. Everyone is welcomed to attend and witness this ceremony. We are expecting departments from near and far to help us officially put these units into service. Refreshments are available.
