BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Officials in Brown County are celebrating the opening of a new interchange.
Wednesday they cut the ribbon at Highway 29 and County Highway VV in Howard and Hobart.
The final ramp opened last month.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced that all construction at the interchange would be complete by Oct. 15, with the new Marley Street opening Saturday.
The new interchange replaces a J-turn. It is designed to improve safety and spark economic development.
“In the end, when we are a community that’s united in our effort, we can get amazing things done,” said Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach.
Brown County received a federal grant to cover $20 million of the more than $25 million cost.
