Maintenance and repair work on Highway 160 from Bayfield to Yellowjacket Pass started Monday and is scheduled to continue into August.

Contractor Old Castle SW is working from milepost 103 in Bayfield to milepost 117 at the bottom of Yellowjacket.

The project involves pavement deep patch repair followed by asphalt resurfacing - a one-inch mat to level the surface - and an additional three inches of new asphalt. The work will also include the installation of new guardrail. Old Castle was awarded $5.2 million for the project.

Work will be done Monday through Friday, with hours changing as summer progresses-from 30 minutes after sunrise to 30 minutes before sunset. Motorists should expect 15 minute delays and single-lane, alternating traffic through the work zone.
