Construction is expected to begin next week on a major road reconstruction project in Fond du Lac County. Governor Scott Walker has approved the nearly $11 million project on a 16-mile stretch of Highway 26 from Cattaraugus Drive to County Highway FF. In addition to replacing pavement, a curve in the road near Willow Creek Road will be realigned and reconstructed. Fond du lac County Sherif’s Captain Rick Olig says he hopes the project will help reduce serious injury and fatal accidents on that stretch of highway. Olig says that stretch of 26 has been the scene of several serious traffic crashes over the years. The project is slated to begin Monday and be completed in October. There will be a posted detour using Highway 151 and Interstate 41.
