Previous studies
WisDOT recently completed the La Crosse Safety and Operations study. The objectives of this study were to gather data for the project roadways, identify current and future safety and operational concerns, and identify and evaluate improvement alternatives that address these concerns. The two reports linked below are the results of that study.
