Whitewater, Wis. June 26, 2026
NOTICE: Franklin Street & W. Main Street Construction Project Begins July 7
The City of Whitewater would like to inform residents, businesses, and visitors that construction to realign the southeast corner of the Franklin Street and W. Main Street intersection is anticipated to begin on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.

During construction:

·         Franklin Street will be closed to all traffic from W. Main Street to approximately 150 feet south of the intersection.

·         The Mercy Health entrance will remain open; however, it will only be accessible from the south.

·         W. Main Street will be reduced to one through lane in each direction.

·         The existing traffic signals will be removed from service and replaced with All-Way Stop signs throughout the duration of the project.

Construction is expected to be completed by mid-August 2026, weather permitting.

A posted detour will direct motorists via Whitewater Street and W. Main Street.

The City appreciates the public's patience and cooperation during this important infrastructure improvement project. Please use caution when traveling through the work zone, follow all posted signs, and allow extra travel time.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the safety and functionality of this intersection.
