GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The state Department of Transportation has scheduled 26 construction projects for the 11-county Northeast Wisconsin region in 2018.
One of the largest projects deals with a five-mile stretch of US 41, from Lineville Road to Norfield Road in Suamico.
“Not only are we resurfacing about five miles from County B to Lineville, but we’re also redoing the entire intersection at County B and US 41.”
The DOT’s Mark Kantola says a long-term, southbound lane closure from Highway B to Norfield is set to last until late May.
After that, Kantola says drivers will get some relief.
“If you’re heading north, you’re going to cross over into the southbound lanes and use one of the lanes there, while southbound (drivers) use on of their two lanes. At a different time, we’ll cross over to having (motorists drive) on three lanes northbound and one lane southbound.”
Kantola notes a couple other major projects in Brown County.
“In Green Bay, we have the big Fox River Bridge painting, the bridge over 172. We’ve also got a resurfacing heading out to Kewaunee County.”
In the Fox Valley, Kantola notes the 441 Tri-County expansion is scheduled to wrap up.
“They’re going to have those new flyover ramps open by the end of the year. We’re going to have the new diverging diamond open down in Appleton by this fall.”
