WIS 21 Interchange and US 41 reconstruction over Lake Butte des Morts - US 41 major

Schedule: August 2011 to July 2013

Length: 2 miles

Cost: $54.2 million

Location: WIS 21 Interchange, US 41 mainline from 1500 feet north of Witzel Avenue, to the US 45 Interchange.

Description: This project involves the reconstruction of the WIS 21 interchange to pass over US 41. The interchange will be completely reconstructed to include roundabouts at ramp terminals and at the WIS 21 intersections with Washburn and Koeller Streets. This project also includes the reconstruction of mainline US 41 from Witzel Avenue to the US 45 Interchange including new bridges over Lake Butte des Morts and Sawyer Creek. The work on the Lake Butte des Mort Causeway will include a recreational trail along the east side of US 41 crossing over the water.

September 29 to October 6: Crews continued building retaining walls on the northeast corner of the WIS 21 interchange and continue grading for the new northbound US 41 lanes between WIS 21 and US 45. Crews finished pier construction and began girder erection on the north and south channel bridges for northbound US 41, and began cofferdam construction at the main channel bridge. Crews continued installing concrete pavement on the northbound US 41 lanes between Witzel Avenue and Lake Butte des Morts and on WIS 21 east of US 41. Crews began landscaping the center roundabout islands at Washburn and Koeller Streets.

October 7 to October 13: Crews will continue building retaining walls on the northeast corner of the WIS 21 interchange and continue grading for the new northbound between WIS 21 and US 45. Crews will continue girder erection and cofferdam construction for the new northbound US 41 bridges on the Lake Butte des Morts causeway. Crews will finish installing concrete pavement on the northbound lanes of US 41 between Witzel Avenue and Lake Butte des Morts as well as on the ramps and roundabout for the northbound US 41 ramps at WIS 21. Crews will begin sidewalk installation on WIS 21 east of US 41.

Traffic impacts: The northbound and southbound shoulders of US 41 are closed between US 45 and Witzel Avenue. Northbound and southbound US 41 is reduced to two 11-foot lanes in each direction between US 45 and Witzel Avenue. WIS 21 is closed to through traffic between US 41 and Koeller Street. The signed detour to WIS 21 from US 41 will use the WIS 44/WIS 91 interchange. WIS 21 is open west of US 41 only. Westbound WIS 21 traffic in the city of Oshkosh will continue to utilize the WIS 44 signed detour for access to US 41. Eastbound WIS 21 traffic approaching US 41 will utilize southbound US 41 to WIS 44 to access northbound US 41.

US 41 – Mainline (US 45 to Breezewood Lane)

Schedule: March 2011 to June 2013

Length: 8.0 Miles

Cost: $45 Million

Location: US 41 - US 45 Interchange to Breezewood Lane

Description: This project involves the reconstruction and widening of US 41. The work includes construction of multiple structures including: bridges, box culverts, and sign bridges along with grading, base aggregate, concrete & asphalt pavements, concrete barrier wall, and pavement marking.

September 30 to October 6: Concrete pavement was completed in all of the driving lanes. There are several areas where the median pavement will be constructed in the next stage (November). Work on the median concrete barrier and light pole bases continued from WIS 76 to County G.

October 7 to October 13: Work will continue in the median. Crews will be installing light pole bases and barrier wall from County GG to Breezewood Lane. Work will begin on the outside shoulder of the new northbound lanes. Crews will begin constructing the asphalt and gravel shoulders from WIS 76 to Breezewood Lane. Type I (Large) sign bases and supports will be installed between WIS 76 and Breezewood Lane. Crews will begin painting the edge lines and installing grooved in contrast tape skips.

Traffic impacts: Trucks are required to use the Left Lane thru the work zone due to the vane drains in the right lane which cause a bumpy ride. The speed limit for both northbound and southbound traffic has been reduced to 55 mph and will remain that way until November 2012. The northbound traffic continues the temporary lanes. The emergency stopping area for northbound traffic near Nee-Vin Road has been closed. The emergency stopping area near County GG will remain open.
