OVERVIEW

The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works and Wisconsin Department of Transportation are resurfacing West Hampton Avenue from North 60th Street to North Teutonia Avenue (2.0 miles). The scope of work includes milling and resurfacing the deteriorated asphalt pavement and replacing driveway approaches and sidewalk where necessary. Pedestrian curb ramps are being built to meet current ADA standards. The traffic signals at N.
