APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – City officials in Appleton are doing something different to let drivers know about upcoming road construction projects.
There are now 2 signs posted along E. John Street.
The city says underground utility work has been completed there, but the road can’t be paved until next spring because of the clay soil.
City officials say these signs will go up in other sites in the future.
According to leaders, they believe it’s an open way to tell people the city is aware the road is bumpy with temporary asphalt. But that the new pavement will be coming next spring.
The city says the signs cost a few hundred dollars each and the money comes out of the Public Works Department’s budget.
