(WTAQ-WLUK) — Orange construction barrels will line Interstate 41 between Breezewood Lane in Neenah and Wisconsin Avenue (Highway 96) in Grand Chute this summer.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says crews will be repairing pavement and replacing bridge approaches, existing beam guard, deteriorated metal culvert pipes, median inlets and the deck of the bridge over Green Bay Road. About 30 other structures will be fixed up as well.
Drivers will see lanes closed, local road closures and ramp closures. Drivers are encouraged to take alternate routes whenever possible.
Impacts to the main interstate
- I-41 northbound will be reduced full time from three lanes to two lanes in the vicinity of Green Bay Road for a majority of the project due to the bridge deck replacement
- Both directions of I-41 will have areas reduced full time from three lanes to two lanes for a significant portion of the project to facilitate the replacement of bridge approaches, other structure repairs, and reapplication of the high-friction surface treatment
- Concrete pavement repairs will require single and multi-lane closures during night-time and off-peak hours throughout the project limits
- Mainline I-41 traffic will be routed up and down interchange ramps during night-time hours to facilitate the replacement of some metal culverts
Ramp closures scheduled
- I-41 northbound entrance ramp from Hwy. II will be closed for a majority of the project due to the bridge deck replacement.
- Hwy. 10 westbound to I-41 northbound system interchange ramp will be closed for roughly three weeks.
- I-41 southbound exit ramp to Hwy. II will be closed for about two weeks in late spring/early summer and another one week in early fall.
- Several interchange ramps will be closed for roughly two weeks. These ramps include:
- I-41 southbound entrance ramp from Hwy.114 (Winneconne Avenue)
- I-41 northbound exit ramp to Hwy. 114 (Winneconne Avenue)
- I-41 southbound exit ramp to Main Street in Neenah
- I-41 northbound exit ramp to Hwy. 125 (College Avenue) in Grand Chute
- I-41 southbound entrance ramp from Hwy. 125 (College Avenue) in Grand Chute
- All other interchange ramps may be closed during night-time hours
Impacts to local roads
- Green Bay Road will be closed at I-41 for roughly four to five months due to the bridge deck replacement.
- Jacobsen Road will be closed at I-41 for up to one week for minor rehabilitation of the bridge over I-41.
- One lane of Cold Spring Road will be closed under Hwy. 10 during daytime hours for roughly one month with flaggers directing traffic through this work area.
The $16.25 million project is scheduled to begin April 1 and last until November. Follow updates on the DOT’s website.
The project is separate from the larger I-41 expansion project between Green Bay and the Fox Valley.
