Highway 51 Construction South of Merrill

[jedoyle]

I am looking for an update on the construction south of Merrill, WI on H51. Over Memorial Day weekend we hit stop & go traffic for an hour because they pinched things down to 1 lane on each side. Not fun & delayed us big time. Is this still in place or are things good now from Wausau to Merrill? Thanks.

The north bound lanes were both open last weekend the southbound lanes were pinched to one lane still on Sunday night when we came home for repainting the lines. I believe they were going to open up both southbound lanes this week.

Thanks for the replies guys. It sounds like it might be all systems a go.

Both ways were down to one lane late last night. Also down to one lane just north of Portage. I am guessing they may move the barrels for the weekend.
