Prescription Drop-Off Day: April 27th

On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) will coordinate a Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative throughout Wisconsin. The Prescription Drug Take-Back Day goal is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal of prescription medications, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications. Unused prescription medications in homes create a public health and safety concern, because they can be accidentally ingested, stolen, misused, and abused.
In coordination with the Brown County Drug Task Force and the WI Department of Justice, the Village of Allouez will be accepting unused/unwanted prescriptions and over the counter medications for proper disposal.
When: Saturday, April 27th, 8:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M.
Where: Allouez Village Hall, 1900 Libal St, Green Bay, WI 54301
Please contact Directed Enforcement Officer Jason Vogel at (920)448-2800 Ext. 109 or by e-mail vogel_jp@co.brown.wi.us with any questions or visit DoseOfRealitywi.gov to learn how to properly package your medication for this event.

WIS 172 bridge painting resumes

WIS 172 bridge painting has restarted in Brown County.
Bridge project continues with painting of steel girders.
(Brown County) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northeast Region office announces painting on the WIS 172 bridge over the Fox River in Brown County will restart following winter shutdown on Wed., March 27. The $7.8 million project is expected to finish in November of 2019. WIS 172 and WIS 57 will remain open during the project.
Project improvements
• Blasting and painting of steel girders under the WIS 172 bridge over the Fox River.
• A temporary causeway was installed in Fox River to allow equipment access to barges.
• A containment system will be built on the bridge. This system will contain the old paint removed from the bridge. Crews will then dispose of the old paint properly.
Traffic impacts
• WIS 172 and WIS 57 will remain open during painting. Crews will use off-peak lane closures on WIS 172 and WIS 57 (Riverside Drive) to conduct painting operations.
• Continuous shoulder closures on WIS 172 to delineate containment system brackets on the bridge parapets.
• Flagging operations and various nighttime closures of the Fox River Recreational Trail and Ashwaubomay Recreational Trail will occur directly under the bridge.
• Boat traffic should be mindful of construction barge traffic and the containment systems hanging below the bridge girders.
More information
In-construction weekly updates for this project will be available on the Northeast Region Weekly Construction Advisory at https://projects.511wi.gov/weeklyupdates-ne/.
