Kenosha County has announced a resurfacing project on Highway P in Wheatland, stretching from Highway 50 to the Racine County line. The project is set to commence on Monday, May 12.

According to a press release, the resurfacing of Kenosha County Highway P (Dyer Lake Road) in Wheatland is expected to last approximately two and a half weeks. During this period, the road will remain open to through traffic; however, flagging operations will be implemented. Drivers are advised to consider alternate routes due to anticipated traffic delays. The schedule for the project is weather-dependent and may change based on weather conditions.

The Kenosha County Division of Highways is tasked with maintaining a safe and efficient highway system throughout the county. Its mission includes adapting to changing conditions by employing procedural and technical methods to deliver reliable public service in a cost-effective manner. The division works closely with other municipalities to ensure a well-functioning transportation network, as said by Kenosha County.

The Kenosha County Public Works Department oversees services that support infrastructure, recreation, facilities, and community development. Extension Kenosha County provides educational outreach in partnership with the University of Wisconsin. Additionally, the Facilities Division maintains public buildings and grounds; the Golf Division manages two championship courses; the Highways Division handles road maintenance and improvements; and the Parks Division manages over 1,500 acres of parkland along with 14 miles of trails. Planning & Development promotes sustainable land use and local economic growth. Together, these divisions enhance quality of life and support essential county operations and services.

Kenosha County is governed by elected officials including a county executive and a 23-member board of supervisors. Located in southeastern Wisconsin, it borders Racine County, Lake Michigan, Illinois, and Walworth County. The county's mission is to enhance community well-being through efficient services that support residents and economic development. The county board represents districts with approximately 7,300 residents each and functions as the legislative body responsible for governance matters.
