VIROQUA, Wis. – According to the City of Viroqua the 2023 Highway Safety Improvement project on U.S. Highway 14-61 in Viroqua is almost complete. To date traffic has changed to three lanes on Highway 14, corrugated medians have been constructed, and a rapid flashing beacon at West Broadway has been installed.
Next week final touches to the pavement markings and signage installation will occur.
The final phase is improvements to the traffic signal at Main and Decker streets. The traffic signal will change from 2-phases to 3-phases through a signal sequence called Split Phasing. This means traffic approaching the intersection from one direction will be given the exclusive right of way into the intersection followed by the opposing approaching traffic given exclusive right of way into the intersection. This change planned for August 7 will ease the traffic backups that can happen on Highway 56 at the Main and Decker intersection.
Below is a diagram and an explanation of how the signal changes will work at Main and Decker that will happen on Monday. You can also find more details about the overall project on the City of Viroqua website.
