The Wisconsin DOT is finalizing plans and specifications for the STH 162 highway project through the Village of Stoddard, scheduled to be let in August 2026 with most construction in the 2027 season. Village-responsible work has expanded, with its estimated cost rising from 605281 to 803057 for items such as curb and gutter, storm sewer, sidewalk along the north side, driveway aprons, parking areas, and sanitary sewer and water utility work. This is a coordinated state-local capital project where the village must deliver its components to match the DOT schedule, and the larger scope suggests additional design, construction, and utility coordination needs.No specific vendors are mentioned yet for the village’s portions, leaving room for contractors, engineers, and utility construction firms to position themselves for subcontracts or municipal-side work tied to the August 2026 letting and 2027 construction window.

Village scope includes curb and gutter, storm sewer, sidewalk, driveway aprons, parking area paving and grading, and sanitary sewer and water utility work coordinated with a WI DOT highway project.
