Public meeting for South segment of I-39/90 Project, Rock County

August 13, 2012

South segment extends from Illinois state line to south of Janesville

A public information meeting will occur on Tuesday, August 28 to introduce the south segment of the I-39/90 Project and its goals to reconstruct and expand Interstate 39/90 between the Illinois state line and County O, just south of Janesville in Rock County. The meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Turtle Town Hall, 6916 South County Road J, Beloit, WI 53511. A formal presentation will be held at 5:30 p.m.

The meeting will present preliminary design information for planned improvements, which includes the complete reconstruction and expansion of I-39/90 to six (6) lanes from the Illinois state line to WIS 11 (Avalon Road) and eight (8) lanes from WIS 11 (Avalon Road) through Janesville in the central segment. Three (3) interchanges will be reconstructed: I-43, County S (Shopiere Road), and WIS 11 (Avalon Road). Improvements will also include the replacement of aging overpass structures along the corridor. These segment improvements are part of the I-39/90 expansion project from the Illinois state line to the US 12/18 interchange near Madison.

The public is encouraged to attend the meeting, provide input and ask questions regarding this project. Maps showing the proposed improvement alternatives will be on display. WisDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project on an individual basis.
