Marathon County Highway Department oversees projects on Marathon County roadways and bridges.

Roadway projects are limited to work on County Highways and includes over 600 miles of county highways.

Bridge projects can include projects on town, village, city and county bridges. The bridge program includes over 300 bridges in Marathon County.

When larger projects occur on the highways and bridges, there is often a formal public involvement opportunity where the public can review project information and submit input for the design and construction of the bridge.

Policies and Plans

Many projects and maintenance activities are completed using a combination of industry best practices, Department policies and procedures and approved studies or plans.  Below are some reference materials used by the Department.
