Project lasts through mid-August
By John Faucher
Reconstruction of Hortonville’s Grandview Road started this week.
Motorists and local residents can expect temporary full-road closures from Warner Street to the village limits until Aug. 16.
The project, funded partially through a State Local Road Improvement Grant, involves removal of existing pavement, excavation, tree clearing, storm sewer construction and paving.
Hortonville Public Works Director Carl McCrary provided village board members with a construction timeline on May 16.
Erosion control measures and onsite tree clearing will begin the week of June 3.
MCC Inc. will start excavation the week of June 10 and continue through the first week of July.
RJ Immel Construction will begin storm sewer construction the week of June 24.
Sommers Construction will start concrete work the week of July 8.
MCC will begin fine grading of the project the week of July 15, with paving operations planned for July 22. Pavement markings are scheduled the week of July 29.
Highway landscapers will focus on restoration efforts in the final weeks of the project.
MCC Project Manager Berlin Bolle said one lane of the road will be opened at the end of each working day to allow local residents to reach their driveways. Driveways will also be re-established for access to private properties.
“There will be an approximate 24-hour notice before any driveway will be reconstructed,” Bolle wrote in a letter sent to affected property owners.
Mailboxes in the construction area will be removed during the project. Bolle said a temporary mailbox bank will be established on the far west end of Grandview Road.
The mailboxes will be reinstalled to their original location at completion of the project, unless specified differently by the owner.

The village landed the $175,000 state grant last year that will cover half of the reconstruction costs.
