The Department of Transportation says the project on Highway 42/57 from the spot where the two highways converge in southern Door County and the Bayview Bridge in Sturgeon Bay will focus on concrete work on the right turn lane at the intersection. Workers are also expected to shape the gravel shoulders in the asphalt overlay areas. The project is expected to end in October.

The DOT says it hopes to have the Highway 42 project wrapped up by October 24th.
