The Wisconsin Department of Transportation on Wednesday released notification to the public that it will be holding a “public involvement meeting” to discuss improvements slated to take place in 2027 at the intersection of State Highway 106 and County Truck N in Jefferson County.

The meeting will be held Wednesday, Nov. 8, between 5 and 7 p.m. at the Town of Koshkonong Town Hall, W5609 Star School Rd., Fort Atkinson.

According to the release, “the objective of this meeting is to familiarize the public with the purpose and need for the project and to obtain input on the proposed improvements.

“This project is designed to improve safety by reconstructing the intersection of WIS 106 and County N to a single-lane roundabout. During construction WIS 106 and County N will be closed and detoured to through traffic. Construction is scheduled for 2027.”

Additionally, the release noted that adjacent property owners are encouraged to attend the meeting.
