Modification to the detour. Cooper St. will be used rather than Davis St.

Utility work is planned for next week in the 600 block of S. Center St. The road will be closed to all traffic beginning Monday, October 12 between W. Davis St. and W. South St.
Beginning Tuesday, October 13, excavation of the street will take place in front of 625 and 627 S Center St. It is anticipated concrete will be removed across the entire street in this area preventing travel through this area until concrete is poured.
A detour will be set up using W. Mill St, S. Spring St, and COOPER ST. Following utility work, concrete will be restored. It is anticipated the project will be completed and re-opened to traffic no later than October 21. Schedule is weather permitting.

Beginning the week of September 7, 2026, the City of Beaver Dam will commence its 2026 Street Maintenance Program, which will continue until its anticipated conclusion in late October 2026, weather permitting. The 2026 Street Maintenance Program includes Crack, Joint, and/or Chip Sealing on ten miles of city streets as listed below.

Crack, Joint, and Chip Sealing requires that there be limited traffic (vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, etc.) on the street during the application process. As such, temporary No Parking Signs will be placed on the referenced streets (as applicable) prior to the Crack/Joint/Chip Sealing work commencing. Vehicles that remain parked on the said streets (Monday thru Friday) will be towed at the owner’s expense. Parking is allowed on the said streets Saturday thru Sunday. Once the Crack/Joint/Chip Sealing process has been completed, the temporary No Parking Signs will be removed, and normal parking may resume. Please comply with all temporary construction signage so that the project may be completed as efficiently as possible.
