RHINELANDER - It often feels like there are two seasons in Wisconsin: Winter and Construction.
Drivers in Rhinelander will head into summer with a brand new construction-related headache to deal with on a major roadway.
"We're hopeful, and we'll work our best to get it to where we want it to be," city engineer Tim Kingman said.
Rhinelander city leaders think that's the mindset to take when it comes to a major construction project on busy Kemp Street. Smaller portions of the project will start in early June. That's on Bruner St. and Boyce Drive.
