(Green Bay) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) northeast region office is providing this reminder that public information meetings have been scheduled in Green Bay and Appleton  to discuss the conversion of US 41 from Milwaukee to Green Bay to an Interstate highway. People who travel, live or do business along the US 41 corridor are encouraged to attend, learn more about the planning study and provide comments and suggestions. 

Each public meeting will run from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with a brief presentation at 5:15 p.m., followed by an open house format where WisDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project on an individual basis. The public information meetings locations are:

• Thursday, May 17, at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton

The project schedule calls for WisDOT to begin installing Interstate shields along the route by fall 2014. A final Interstate route number has not been designated.
