Traffic Impacts
Traffic control during construction has not yet been determined. Efforts will be made to minimize traffic impacts, including congestion, delays, and queuing. Impacts to transit may involve temporarily closing or relocating bus stops. Accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists will be provided.
Public Involvement
WisDOT is hosting two (2) in-person public involvement meetings for this project in September 2025. Public involvement is a critical part of all WisDOT projects. These meetings will be an open-house format with no official presentation. This is an opportunity for members of the community to meet with project staff and view project materials. All members of the community are welcome to attend. The same information will be displayed at both meetings.
