This $131 million project was needed to address safety and access, poor roadway and bridge conditions, traffic in high-density areas, and to improve the transportability of local traffic and oversized, overweight vehicles (OSOW).
De Vor Communications was hired as a subconsultant to lead public involvement and outreach services during the construction phase of the WIS 50 Project in the city of Kenosha and the villages of Pleasant Prairie and Bristol in Kenosha County. The four-mile project was divided into three phases for safety in work zones and to reduce travel constraints to the traveling public. Project work included the following:
Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Southeast Region
Kenosha County
In addition to this work, the project also consisted of reconstructing and widening of six bridge structures at the Canadian Pacific Railroad, 77th Avenue and Union Pacific Railroad.
This project required close coordination with various agencies and multiple key stakeholders. Several one-on-one meetings with businesses and homeowners were held throughout construction. The De Vor team worked on site and regularly coordinated with contractors and the construction project team throughout the duration of the project.
The team provided materials for the state’s project website, organized, and facilitated business signing, provided weekly construction forecasts, and created directional tools for affected businesses. De Vor also coordinated project updates including traffic reconfigurations and closures with emergency responders and local and elected officials.
