Cadott-area road work ramps up in July: County schedule and WIS 29 updates
Cadott WI – Chippewa County’s revised July 7 road-work schedule and WisDOT/511 WIS 29 updates spell out lane closures and the Rock Fest no-traffic window.
Cadott-area drivers are heading into an active stretch of road work. Chippewa County’s revised 2026 Maintenance & Construction Schedule (revised July 7) lists multiple projects with flaggers and lane closures, including road paint work that starts July 13. At the state level, WisDOT’s 511 Wisconsin Northwest weekly updates dated July 10 also lay out how WIS 29 will run during a resurfacing project and a time-specific pause in traffic impacts tied to Rock Fest.
Chippewa County revised schedule: what to expect around July 13
Chippewa County notes that the schedule dates are approximate and actual construction time frames can change. Even so, the July revision points to near-term work areas and summer traffic setups—especially around painting/marking.
Road paint begins July 13 on two key county segments:
- CTH OO (from CTH P to 160th St.) — flaggers with lane closures
- CTH J (from STH 29 S to CTH X) — flaggers with lane closures
The county schedule also notes that pavement marking begins July 13 after its June 15 to June 26 seal coat (chip seal) work, with 35 mph speed reduction zones in place during that marking period.
Beyond the July 13 paint start, the county schedule shows additional paving work active in the summer, including routes listed with flaggers with lane closures such as CTH K, CTH O, CTH SS, and CTH M (CTH K and CTH O are listed as “currently under construction” from July 6 to August 6).
WIS 29 near Cadott: open to traffic, but expect single-lane closures
State Highway 29 is a major commute route for Cadott-area residents (the Village of Cadott notes many area residents use State Highway 29 to get to work each day).
For WIS 29 drivers, WisDOT’s 511 Wisconsin Northwest updates identify the project as running along the WIS 29 segment from 320th Street east of Boyd to Koser Avenue west of Thorp, with a schedule of May 11 to mid-September and a $9.35 million project cost.
511 Wisconsin’s traffic-impact guidance for this segment is straightforward:
- WIS 29 remains open to traffic
- Motorists will encounter single-lane closures in both directions for the entire length of the project

How to check the lane setup before you drive
For day-to-day confirmation of what lanes are open (and where you should expect flaggers), use:
- Chippewa County’s Road Construction schedule for county-road flagger/lane-closure timing (including the revised July 7 schedule and the note that dates are approximate).
- 511 Wisconsin for WIS 29 configuration details, including the traffic-impact page and the weekly updates.
With paint/marking work starting July 13 on nearby county routes and single-lane closures ongoing on WIS 29, planning extra time can help reduce delays for commuters, parents coordinating pickups, and anyone traveling the corridor for work or errands.
