Juneau, WI – Drivers in Dodge County are facing major delays today after State Highway 49 was shut down due to a serious motor vehicle crash near the Grande Cheese facility.
According to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, the closure affects State Highway 49 between County Highway YY to the south and County Highway YY to the north. Deputies said the highway is expected to remain closed for an extended period as emergency crews investigate and clear the scene.
The Sheriff’s Office reported the crash just after 7 a.m., noting that traffic is being rerouted and drivers should avoid the area entirely if possible. No timeline has been given for when the roadway may reopen.
The location of the closure—between two access points of County Highway YY—creates limited detour options for commuters traveling between Lomira, Brownsville, and the Juneau area. Motorists are strongly encouraged to plan extra travel time this morning and use alternate routes until authorities announce that the roadway is clear.
Officials have not released details regarding injuries or the number of vehicles involved, but described the incident as a “serious motor vehicle crash.” Additional updates will be provided by the Sheriff’s Office once crews complete their on-site work.
Drivers who regularly use State Highway 49 for work, school, or freight travel should monitor local alerts throughout the day, as the closure may significantly affect morning and midday traffic flow across central Dodge County.
