  • The long planned and debated reconstruction of Business 51 will likely begin next spring but some early preparation work could be seen this year.

The Stevens Point Common Council has approved the reconstruction of Business 51, a major thoroughfare in the city, with construction set to begin in 2026. This project, which has been in the planning stages for years, aims to address the deteriorating condition of the road, enhance safety, and improve traffic flow. The reconstruction will involve significant changes including the replacement of the road surface, upgrades to utilities, and improvements to pedestrian and cyclist facilities. The project is expected to cost millions, with funding coming from a combination of local, state, and possibly federal sources. The approval marks a significant step forward, although concerns about business disruptions and the project's impact on local commerce during construction were noted.
