Anticipated benefits
Resurfacing will provide a smoother ride for motorists, extend the life of the pavement, and decrease future maintenance costs. Culvert repairs will help ensure proper drainage of water on the roadway. Guardrail upgrades will provide a higher level of safety should impact occur. Curb ramp upgrades will provide improved accessibility for those who rely on those accommodations.
Project schedule
Construction will begin in spring of 2026. Please check back for specific start and finish dates.
Traffic impacts
US 141 will remain OPEN (except for a 3-day period) with lane closures and flagging operations during construction. Motorists may encounter brief delays during flagging operations.
- During construction at the Allouez roundabout, a three-day closure/detour of the US 141/Allouez Avenue roundabout will occur.
- The detour directs traffic to use County JJ, I-43, and County MM.
