Local municipalities are preparing funding for a major construction project in the Chippewa Valley.
Chippewa County is getting plans ready to pledge more funding for the 1st phase of the County Highway T project. It’s located near the new Eau Claire Event District and Country jam grounds. The project will expand the Highway T corridor to four lanes, rather than two, between 33rd Avenue and 17th Avenue. Due to the location, the project is a joint effort between Chippewa and Eau Claire counties, the City of Eau Claire, and the towns of Wheaton and Union. The estimated total cost of the 1st phase is estimated to be around five-million-dollars. Construction is scheduled to start in 2027.
