South Street in Virqoua

A brand new intersection is now open for traffic in Viroqua. As anyone who regularly drives East out of town would know, the construction has been underway for most of the summer. South Street has now been greatly changed forever from what was once a quiet, peaceful, dead end street to an open thoroughfare linking this former side street to the all the traffic coming off of highway 56. This intersections opening is part of the larger Highway 56 project slated to start up again this coming spring. But today... much to my surprise, E. South Street, Mahoney Road and WIS 56 were suddenly and totally completed. The work done, consists of grading, new storm sewer, curb/gutter and asphalt pavement with a construction costs estimated to be $540,000. Anyone driving out that way today would have been very startled and surprised by the major visual changes it has created in Virqoua's Landscape. Here are a few photos of the new intersection.
