WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – Traffic will flow the same way on Wausau’s downtown Third Street when the city reconstructs a portion of it next year.

The City Council unanimously agreed Tuesday to keep the street one-way northbound between Jefferson and Grant Streets.

Others have floated the idea of converting the street to two-way or one-way southbound to create another gate into the downtown.

Council members opposed a last-minute request to delay the decision for another month, citing the need to put the construction work out to bid so the project can happen in early spring.
