. 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.

October 7 to October 13: Crews finished building retaining walls on the northeast corner of the WIS 21 interchange and grading for the new northbound US 41 lanes between WIS 21 and US 45. Crews finished girder erection on the north and south channel bridges for northbound US 41 began deck forming, and continued cofferdam construction at the main channel bridge. Crews finished 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.

October 14 to October 20: Crews will continue deck forming and cofferdam construction for the new northbound US 41 bridges on the Lake Butte des Morts causeway. Crews will begin installing concrete barrier wall 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 landscaping 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.

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.

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

October 14 to October 20: Median work on US 41 will continue again this week. Light bases will be installed between County G and the bridge over the Rail Road Spur. Barrier wall will continue between County GG and County G. Barrier wall will be installed along the outside of the northbound lanes at County GG and Breezewood Lane. Shoulder work will be completed this week with the final layer of gravel being placed from WIS 76 to Breezewood Lane. Pavement marking will continue in the northbound lanes. Crews will be painting 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. The on and off ramps to WIS 76 and Breezewood/Bell Street remain open. Please observe the advisory speed limits posted on the ramps.
