Public information meeting for US 12/18 Freeway Conversion Study in Dane County

July 17, 2012

Study extends from I-39/90 and Beltline interchange to County N interchange

A public information meeting will occur on Tuesday, July 31 to discuss the US 12/18 Freeway Conversion Study between I-39/90 and US 12/18 (Beltline interchange) and the County N interchange in Dane County. The meeting is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cottage Grove Town Hall, 4058 County N, Cottage Grove, WI 53527.

This meeting will introduce the study and its goals while obtaining information from area residents. Conversion of US 12/18 to a freeway would eliminate at-grade intersections within study limits and reduce access to interchanges. The study will evaluate additional interchanges, grade-separated overpasses, and frontage roads to connect local roadways without interruption to freeway traffic flow.

No construction activities are planned at this time.

The public is encouraged to attend the meeting, provide input and ask questions regarding this project. Maps of the area will be on display and attendees will be given the opportunity to provide written or verbal comments. WisDOT representatives will be available to discuss the study on an individual basis.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, or would like more information, contact Craig Pringle at (608) 242-8058. Written comments regarding the project can be mailed to Project Manager Craig Pringle, WisDOT, 2101 Wright Street, Madison, WI 53704. Citizens who are deaf or hard of hearing and require an interpreter may request one by contacting Craig Pringle at least three working days prior to the meeting.
