2026 Downtown Pine Street Construction

We want to make sure our Buzzed family is up-to-date on the 2026 Downtown Pine/Chestnut Street construction project beginning this spring.

Pine Street will be torn up from Milwaukee to Jefferson to complete some needed utility work as well as address the deteriorating pavement and sidewalks.

The construction includes the sidewalks which means everything from doorway to doorway will be torn up.  While this will be a bit of an inconvenience this summer, the end result will be a beautiful downtown (and the bricks will be removed from the sidewalk!!!!)

As of early March, the city has approved a bid and awarded the construction contract to LaLonde Construction. The exact date the construction will begin is still TBD, however we at Buzzed are anticipating late March/early April.

They have broken the construction out into 2 phases, Buzzed falls under phase one. This phase is expected to be completed by July 31st.

• We will continue to host events so planning your trips to Buzzed can be a little easier! Stay tuned for our Lake Days Tasting, French Wine Tasting and Made in America Tasting to celebrate America’s birthday!!
• We will continue to partner with our friends at other businesses to keep giving you unique events and pop ups!
• We will try to maintain our normal business hours as best as possible . . . we hope foot traffic in Burlington will be strong throughout the construction!

• We have been told that the construction company will leave our entrances accessible when they finish up for the day
• We have been told the sidewalk area and door entrances will be fully accessible for all
• Parking will be reduced so we encourage you to use the city parking garage and parking lot located behind Buzzed
• We do have a back entrance that can be used, it will be marked with our logo and name on the back door. Please note, there is a set of stairs you must climb to use the back entrance.

• Please continue to support your local businesses during this time! We understand it won’t be as easy to run down and grab a glass of wine or pick up that cute new Quotes + Cotton shirt, but we need your continued support.
• Follow your favorite local businesses on social media to stay up to date on changes and updates.
• Stay informed about what is going on in the city and use your voice with your aldermen and city staff. City Council meetings are open to the public and streamed live on the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month. I encourage you to attend or watch these meeting so you can make sure the decisions makers are actually speaking on your behalf.
