Project need

The underlying soil at the approaches to 13 bridges experienced significant settlement which resulted in the settlement of the pavement on these bridge approaches. Our ongoing WIS 441 project is to remove and replace the existing concrete pavement on the bridge approaches and make corresponding adjustments for adjacent beam guard/barrier wall. The schedule for these repairs was accelerated to ensure they were completed ahead of the majority of the mainline I-41 expansion when WIS 441 is expected to handle additional traffic.

Benefit: Construction will extend the service life of pavement, bridges, and increase ride quality.

Project improvements:

Replacing structure approaches at the following 13 bridges:

• WIS 441 westbound over I-41
• I-41 northbound to WIS 441 eastbound ramp over railroad
• WIS 441 eastbound over Little Lake Butte des Morts
• WIS 441 eastbound over Tayco Street
• WIS 441 westbound over Tayco Street
• WIS 441 eastbound over County P (Racine Street)
• WIS 441 westbound over County P (Racine Street)
• WIS 441 eastbound over County AP (Midway Road)
• WIS 441 westbound over County AP (Midway Road)
• WIS 441 eastbound over WIS 47 (Appleton Road)
• WIS 441 westbound over WIS 47 (Appleton Road)
• WIS 441 eastbound over US 10 (Oneida Street)
• WIS 441 westbound over US 10 (Oneida Street)

Construction schedule: Construction begins April 28, 2025, and finishes in October 2025.

Traffic impacts:

Impacts to WIS 441 mainline traffic include:

• • Both directions of WIS 441 from I-41 to South Oneida Street will be reduced full time from three lanes to two lanes throughout the project.
  • Westbound US 10/WIS 441 over I-41 bridge will be closed for roughly 4 nights.  Detour route will follow northbound I-41 to County BB to southbound I-41 to westbound US 10.
  • Impacts to oversize/overweight (OSOW) routes within the 10/41/441 interchange due to restricted widths
  • Speed reduction from 65 mph to 55 mph.

Impacts to interchange ramps along the corridor include:

• • Exit ramp from eastbound WIS 441 to County P/Racine Road will be closed for roughly 2 months. Detour route will follow eastbound WIS 441 to County AP/Midway Road to County P/Racine Road.
  • Entrance ramp to westbound WIS 441 from County P/Racine Road will be closed for roughly 2 months. Detour route will follow eastbound WIS 441 to County AP/Midway Road to westbound WIS 441.
  • Entrance ramp (loop) to eastbound WIS 441 from southbound I-41 will be closed for roughly 2 months. Detour route will follow southbound I-41 to westbound US 10 to County CB to eastbound US 10/WIS 441.

• • Entrance ramp to eastbound WIS 441 from northbound I-41 will be closed for roughly 4 nights.
  • Entrance ramp to westbound US 10 from northbound I-41 will be closed for roughly 2 nights.

Temporary business signing

If business access is impacted by a closure or detour, temporary business signing may be placed by filling out a WisDOT business signing permit. All temporary business signing needs approval via the permit before placement to ensure it is in a safe location and does not pose a visual distraction or traffic hazard. The temporary business signing permit is free. Costs associated with creating the temporary sign are the responsibility of the business. The permit is available as a fillable-form WORD document or pdf below, or you can request one from the project contacts below.

• Download Temporary Business Sign Permit 

Please email or mail the free permit to any of the contacts below.  For more information regarding temporary signing, plus tips and tools for businesses impacted by highway construction, please visit WisDOT’s In This Together business resource website.
