The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is currently resurfacing WIS 38, from Rapids Drive to County MM (N Green Bay Road), including the bridge over the Root River. Other improvements include:

• Replacement of concrete pavement, curb and gutter.
• Provide sidewalks and wider shoulders for bike usage.
• Replacing existing traffic signals and sign structures at Rapids Drive and Northwestern Avenue.
• Reconfigure WIS 38 and Rapids Drive intersection for improved traffic flow.

During the 2024 construction season, the WIS 38 westbound bridge and travel lanes were completed as part of stage 1 of the project. In 2025, the eastbound bridge and travel lanes will be built during stages 2 and 3.

Traffic Impacts: Stage 2 (2025)

Beginning in April 2025, WIS 38 will be reduced to a single lane of traffic in each direction and will remain open to local traffic (travelers with a destination inside the workzone) during construction. Access to local residences and businesses will be maintained.

• Motorists are encouraged to take an alternative route utilizing WIS 31 and County C (Spring Steet) to avoid delays.

Following stage 2, work will continue into the 3rd and final stage of construction in late fall of 2025.
