(Green Bay) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region is announcing the new County J underpass at WIS 29 in Brown County opens to motorists by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 26. The underpass is one element of a $13.6 million project, which included construction of the new County RK (south frontage road) running along WIS 29 between County J and Packerland Drive, and a single-lane roundabout at the County J/RK intersection.

Additional construction on County J is scheduled for 2012 that will impact motorists. The County J underpass closes to all traffic for approximately six weeks starting in mid-March to complete work on the underpass retaining walls, sidewalk and landscaping. Once the underpass is completed, County J between Village Green Golf Course and Riverview Drive closes to through traffic until early June for road reconstruction and sidewalk installation.

All lane restrictions, road openings and work operations are weather dependent and subject to change.
