Release date: April 8, 2026
To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers has approved a $6.8 million safety improvement project at the I-41 and WIS 60 interchange in Washington County. Zenith Tech, Inc. is the prime contractor for the project. Construction is scheduled to begin the week of April 13.
Improvements include:
- Reconstruct the WIS 60 on-ramp to I-41 southbound to address merging conflicts
- Widen and realign the right turn lanes at the I-41 southbound off-ramp to improve visibility
- Addition of traffic signals at the southbound ramp terminal and extension of the westbound WIS 60 left turn lane
- Partial deck removal and widening to increase length of WIS 60 left turn lane to I-41 northbound on-ramp
- Pavement resurfacing, new pavement markings and signing
Traffic Impacts:
This project will require a combination of long-term and overnight closures along WIS 60 and the on/off-ramps to I-41. Detours will be posted during long-term closures. Single lane closures on I-41 will be limited to off-peak hours for bridge improvements.
Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained.
Schedule:
Work is scheduled for completion in fall 2026. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
