\nThe project is located on I-43 between WIS 172 and I-41 in Brown County and includes all interchange ramps.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe purpose of the project is to extend the life of the existing pavement and associated deteriorating drainage structures, upgrade the existing guardrail, and install median cable guard.<\/p>\n
\nThis is a maintenance-level project. Proposed improvements include:<\/p>\n\n
\nImprovements will provide motorists with a smoother riding surface resulting in less wear and tear on vehicles. Construction will extend the life of the pavement as well as decrease future maintenance costs. Culvert repairs will extend the life of the drainage structures. Guardrail upgrades and installation of median cable guard improve roadside safety.<\/p>\n![\"full](\"http:\/\/projects.511wi.gov\/43brown122708\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1455\/43closures27.jpg\")
