WIS 23 Corridor Preservation Study - Alternatives

​This page contains the recommended alternatives developed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) in conjunction with local officials and the public. It also contains past alternative information by which the preferred alternative was developed.

WIS 23 Corridor Preservation Study - Alternatives

WIS 23 corridor overview - Recommended alternatives for WIS 23 corridor

West segment - Recommended alternative for County P/Pioneer Rd., Branch Rd., and Inez Rd.

  • South of WIS 23, extends Branch Rd. to a western intersection with Pioneer Rd. and extends Branch Rd. to an eastern intersection with County C. Access to Inez Ct. is rerouted to an intersection with the western extension of Branch Rd. Requires the closure of the existing Pioneer Rd., Inez Ct. and Branch Rd. intersections south of WIS 23.
  • North of WIS 23, reroute County P down Valley Ln. and extends Valley Ln. to the east to an intersection with County C. Requires the closure of the existing County P intersection north of WIS 23.


Central segment - Recommended alternative for County O, County E, and Pleasant View Rd.

  • Connector roadway from the existing Kiley Way and Pleasant Valley Rd. intersection to County O. WIS 23 is constructed as an overpass of County E. Requires the closure of County O/OJ intersection and the Pleasant Valley Rd. intersection with WIS 23.
  • An extension of Kiley Way west to WIS 67 from County O and a Woodland Rd. connector road from WIS 67 to County E will not be evaluated under this project.


East segment – Recommended alternative for Willow Rd., County M, Hillside Rd., Bridgewood Rd., Sunset Rd., County TT and Meadowlark Rd.

  • Overpasses will be constructed on Willow Rd. and County M over WIS 23.
  • Hillside Rd. and Bridgewood Rd. will be closed. Hillside north of WIS 23 will be connected to Sunset Rd. Cul-de-sacs will be constructed on both Hillside Rd. and Bridgewood Rd. south of WIS 23.
  • Diamond interchange with County TT constructed over WIS 23, west of the existing County TT intersection. South of WIS 23 existing County TT would be realigned to a new tee intersection with the realigned County TT. North of WIS 23, the existing County TT and bridge over the Sheboygan River would be removed and a cul-de-sac installed north of the river. A new bridge would be constructed over WIS 23 to the west of the existing County TT bridge.
  • The existing intersection of Sunset Rd., County TT and Meadowlark Rd. will be closed with cul-de-sacs constructed.

July 19, 2010 - PIM exhibits and past alternatives

East segment

  • E-1, Highland Rd. intersection: Diamond interchange west of County TT that connects Highland Rd. on the western edge of the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport, north of WIS 23, with Sunset Rd. south of WIS 23. A new bridge spanning the Sheboygan River would be required. Sunset Rd. north of WIS 23 would be connected to the new interchange crossroad. An overpass would be constructed at the existing County TT intersection with WIS 23 and the Meadowlark Rd. intersection would be closed. Intersection closures and overpasses shown in Alternative EC-1 would be required with this alternative.

 

  • E-2, County TT intersection: Partial clover leaf interchange at the location of the existing County TT intersection. Due to proximity with the WIS 23 auxiliary lanes on WIS 23 may be required and new bridges would be required at the existing Sheboygan River crossing of WIS 23 to provide the width necessary for the ramps. Intersection closures and overpasses shown in Alternative EC-1 would be required with this alternative.

 

  • E-3, Bridgewood Rd. intersection: Diamond interchange just to the west of the existing Bridgewood Rd. intersection. Most of the new interchange crossroad would be constructed on new alignment connecting County C on the south end to County O on the north end. A new bridge spanning the Sheboygan River would be required. Existing Sunset Rd. would be rerouted to the north to a connection with Hillside Rd. Intersection closures and overpass shown in Alternative EC-1 would be required.


East Central segment

  • EC-1, Willow Rd. and County M: Requires construction of overpasses at Willow Rd. and County M. This also requires the closure of the Hillside and Bridgewood Rd. intersections. Many of the elements of this alternative would be used in the various Eastern segment interchange alternatives and may be implemented prior to the construction of an interchange shown in those alternatives.


West Segment

W-2

  • North of WIS 23, reroute the existing County P to a connection with County C. The western half of the alternative closely follows the existing Branch Rd. alignment. The eastern half of the alternative is on new alignment to a connection with County C. Requires the closure of the existing County P intersection north of WIS 23.
  • South of WIS 23, extend Branch Rd. to a western intersection with Pioneer Rd. and extends Branch Rd. to an eastern intersection with County C. Access to Inez Ct. is rerouted to an intersection with the western extension of Branch Rd. Requires the closure of the existing Pioneer Rd., Inez Ct. and Branch Rd. intersections south of WIS 23.
  • Both the north and south are not dependent on each other and can be combined with other north and south alternatives shown in other West segment alternatives.

W-4

  • North of WIS 23, reroute County P down Valley Ln. and extends Valley Ln. to the east to an intersection with County C. Requires the closure of the existing County P intersection north of WIS 23.
  • South of WIS 23, create a new roadway connecting Pioneer Rd. to Linda Ln. providing access from Pioneer Rd. to County C. Inez Ct. and Branch Rd. are extended to intersections with the new connector roadway. Requires the closure of the existing Pioneer Rd., Inez Ct. and Branch Rd. intersections south of WIS 23.
  • Both the north and south are not dependent on each other and can be combined with other north and south alternatives shown in other West segment alternatives.


West Central segment

WC-1

  • Connector roadway from the existing Kiley Way and Pleasant Valley Rd. intersection to WIS 67. A new bridge would be required to span the Mullet River. Requires the closure of the County O/OJ intersection, the Pleasant View Rd. intersection and a new overpass at County E.

WC-2

  • Connector roadway from the existing Kiley Way and Pleasant Valley Rd. intersection to County O. An overpass is constructed at County E and a north connector roadway is constructed between County E and WIS 67. Requires the closure of the County O/OJ intersection and the Pleasant View Rd. intersection.
