Project need
WisDOT is proposing to improve 14.2 miles of I-41. The existing pavement and cable guard system are both beginning to deteriorate and will require increased maintenance. Both will reach the end of their service life by the time of construction. The guardrail will also be replaced to meet current safety standards. Also, drainage measures are needed to prevent water overtopping I-41 north of County Z to Black Wolf Avenue in the town of Nekimi, southern Winnebago County. A box culvert replacement will improve drainage.
Proposed improvements
- Mill and overlay two (2) inches of asphalt along the Northbound and Southbound lanes
- Replace cable barrier and guardrail along I-41 mainline and ramps
- Miscellaneous structure maintenance work
- Miscellaneous culvert extension and slope flattening work
- Replace existing box culvert to address flooding issue North of County Z
