Following four months of construction Highway 26 in Fond du Lac County will reopen Friday afternoon. The nearly $11 million project involved 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 was 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. Fond du Lac County Highway commissioner Tom Jahnke says its a much needed upgrade to a heavily traveled highway.
