Crews begin work on Cedar Sauk Rd.

Resurfacing began this week on Cedar Sauk Road with the majority of the work expected to be completed by the end of August, depending on weather.  

The project includes reconstruction of the intersection of Cedar Sauk Road and Highway O.

The Village of Saukville shares jurisdiction over the 1.87-mile project — from South Main Street/Highway O west to Maple Road — with the towns of Grafton and Saukville.

The Town of Grafton has the largest portion, a little over 0.8 of a mile.

Saukville’s share of the project covers about a half-mile of road, including the north half of Cedar Sauk Road from the railroad tracks to the Town of Grafton boundary and the north half of the road from the Town of Grafton boundary to the Town of Saukville boundary.

A state grant will cover 70% of the estimated project cost of $292,000.

A memorandum of understanding also commits the three communities to maintain their portions of the road for the next 10 years, including crack filling, snow plowing, filling potholes, shoulder repairs, tree removal and chip sealing.
