Location
Overview
The proposed project on WIS 175 (W. Appleton Avenue) begins at WIS 181 (N. 76th Street) and ends just west of I-41 at the Menomonee River in the City of Milwaukee. The total project length is approximately 4.4 miles.
Traffic volumes from 2019 indicate the roadway carries between 8,100 and 21,700 vehicles per day. The roadway is on the National Highway System. WIS 175 is currently a four-lane, divided urban roadway with a posted speed limit that varies from 35 mph to 45 mph along the project corridor. WIS 175 is a principal arterial for the entire length of the project. This section of WIS 175 was last reconstructed in 1966 and was last resurfaced in 2013.
