MONROE - Gov. Jim Doyle last week awarded $336,737 to Green County for construction work on County J that is expected to take place next summer.
The money came from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation County Highway Improvement Program - Discretionary (CHIP-D).
"This program represents a state and local partnership to identify and complete key county highway improvements throughout the state," Doyle said. "A quality state and local roadway network serves as the foundation to support public safety and job growth."
County J runs from the Dane County line west of New Glarus to Wisconsin 81 just northwest of Monroe.
The award pays for half of the resurfacing project, expected to cost $673,475. Green County Highway Commissioner Dallas Cecil said the resurfacing will take place in August or September 2009.
The money will be given to the county, Cecil said, once the department completes the project and submits the cost to the state.
The resurfacing must be designed to last at least 10 years.
Projects are selected based on recommendations from County Highway Improvement Program committees comprised of county highway commissio
