👀 Want to know what the Village Board will be talking about before the meeting? 👀

The Village Board meets the second and fourth Monday each month. We’re going to start sharing the Village Board agenda and meeting packet here on Facebook as another way to make it easier for residents to see what’s coming before the Board.

These materials have always been available on the Village website and we hang the agendas around town, but we know that not everyone checks the website or bulletin boards regularly — and we also know that Board meetings do not always have much public attendance.

A lot of important decisions are made at these meetings, and we’d really like residents to have more opportunity to see what’s being discussed before those decisions are made.

The Board packet includes the agenda along with many of the documents and background materials the Village Board will be reviewing. Take a look, ask questions, reach out to Village officials, and attend the meeting if there is something you’re interested in.

📅 Next Village Board Meeting: 10/12/2026, 7pm, Village Hall (613 Main Street)

🔗 Agenda & Packet:https://www.villageofcolfaxwi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026.10.12-Regular-Agenda-Packet.pdf

You don’t have to wait until after a decision is made to learn what’s happening. We hope sharing this information more broadly makes it a little easier for residents to stay informed and be part of the process.

Your local government works best when people know what’s going on and get involved. 😊

🚧 STH 170 Bridge Update – We’re Getting There!

Here’s the latest from this week’s bridge progress meeting:

The Stage 1 bridge deck pour was scheduled for Thursday night during the 8 p.m.–6 a.m. closure. After the pour, the new deck will need to cure through approximately Thursday, October 15.

Next up, crews will begin work on the approaches, including removals, the approach slab, paving, traffic-control changes, and temporary barrier work as they prepare to switch into Stage 2.

⚠️ Another full closure will be needed for the Stage 2 deck pour. That closure may need to run approximately 4 p.m.–6 a.m. The exact date and duration are not known yet and will depend on the construction schedule and weather. We have asked for as much advance notice as possible and will share the date as soon as it is confirmed.⚠️

Also worth noting: increased truck traffic is expected west of the project beginning next week due to hauling to the ethanol plant.

There are still several steps left, but we are getting closer to the finish line. Thank you for continuing to be patient with the construction, closures, and traffic changes. 🚧

🚧 Road Paint Update: Yes, we know the wait is brutal. 😭

If you’ve been traveling through the Village or south on Hwy 40, you’ve probably noticed some very long waits while pavement marking work is underway.

A little context on what’s happening:

The lines you’ve been seeing were temporary markings. Crews now need to grind portions of that area so they can place an epoxy material before the final pavement markings are installed.

Also, several miles of fog-line markings on the south end of the project didn’t end up quite where they needed to be, so that section is getting a do-over. 🤦🏻‍♀️

We know the delays are frustrating, especially when you’re sitting there wondering whether you’ve accidentally joined a very slow parade. 😬

Thank you for your patience while crews get the final details finished up.

The end is near! 🙌
