Janesville-Beloit gas prices remain far above year-ago levels after volatile six months

Rock County drivers and businesses have endured a volatile six months at the pump, with gasoline prices rising and falling amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to global energy supplies. The swings have kept fuel costs in the headlines for much of the year. High gasoline and diesel prices also became part of the broader cost-of-living debate during this week’s midterm elections, with candidates, political observers and voters pointing to fuel costs as one of the economic pressures facing households and businesses. As of this week, the average price for regular gasoline in the Janesville-Beloit area was about $4.17 per gallon, according to AAA. That was roughly $1.30 per gallon, or 45%, higher than a year earlier. Wisconsin’s statewide average was about $4.04. For a driver filling a 15-gallon tank, that year-over-year difference amounts to about $19.50 more per fill-up. The increase is even more pronounced for diesel, an important expense for trucking, construction, agriculture and other businesses. Janesville-Beloit diesel averaged about $6.25 per gallon this week, roughly $2.66, or 74%, higher than a year earlier. The local diesel average reached a record $6.72 per gallon on Sept. 22. Prices rise, fall and rise again The

A section of Highway 51 will be closed for repairs for most of November

JANESVILLE — A section of U.S. Highway 51 in Janesville will be fully closed from Nov. 6-24 as crews complete additional bridge repairs. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the closure will affect US 51 from Delavan Drive to State Street. During the early stages of the project, crews identified additional repairs needed on the US 51 bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad. Because the work falls outside the original project scope, maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction is no longer feasible, WisDOT said in the press release. The closure will allow crews to complete bridge deck repairs, bridge overlay work, milling and final asphalt paving. The detour route will use Delavan Drive, Beloit Avenue and Wis-11. Access will be maintained for residents living south of the project area throughout construction. Temporary traffic control measures will direct local traffic through designated access points. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allow additional travel time and follow the posted detour. Questions about the project can be directed to WisDOT Project Manager Adam Kopp at adam.kopp@dot.wi.gov. Additional traffic updates at can be found at the WisDOT website: 511wi.gov.
