East Junction STH 21 -
East Junction Silver Lake Road,
Wautoma, Wisconsin

Designer:
Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Wisconsin Rapids, WI

Contractor:
Hoffman Construction Co., Black River Falls, WI

STH 21 was realigned for 1.31 miles, from STH 72 to Silver Lake Road. Many sensitive environmental and archeological issues were addressed in the construction. Highway grades were set to enhance the scenic overview of the lakes. The shoreline is now public and allows for fishing along the entire shoreline. Lakefront residences now enjoy separation from highway by low-traffic-volume frontage roads.
