Governor Evers approves I-41 and WIS 60 Interchange safety improvement project in Washington County
To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers has approved a $6.8 million safety improvement project at the I-41 and WIS 60 interchange in Washington County. Zenith Tech, Inc. is the prime contractor for the project. Construction is scheduled to begin the week of April 13.
Improvements
-
Reconstruct the WIS 60 on-ramp to I-41 southbound to address merging conflicts
-
Widen and realign the right turn lanes at the I-41 southbound off-ramp to improve visibility
-
Addition of traffic signals at the southbound ramp terminal and extension of the westbound WIS 60 left turn lane
-
Partial deck removal and widening to increase length of WIS 60 left turn lane to I-41 northbound on-ramp
-
Pavement resurfacing, new pavement markings and signing
Traffic Impacts
This project will require a combination of long-term and overnight closures along WIS 60 and the on/off-ramps to/from I-41. Detours will be posted during long-term closures. Single lane closures on I-41 will be limited to off-peak hours for bridge improvements.
Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained.
Beginning Monday, April 27th, at 7 p.m.
The WIS 60 entrance ramp to I-41 southbound is scheduled to close until early fall for reconstruction.
WIS 60 eastbound is scheduled to be reduced to a single lane from WIS 164 to east of I-41 until early fall for ramp reconstruction and bridge rehabilitation.
The I-41 southbound exit ramp to WIS 60 is scheduled to be limited to right turns for westbound access only for approximately one month.
