Proposed changes

• Proposed changes (printable version)

US 51, from just north of WIS 19 interchange to Grinde Rd., will be expanded from a 2-lane highway to a 4-lane freeway.

Access to US 51 will only be allowed at interchanges. Two full diamond interchanges located at Windsor Rd. and North Street/County V are included in the proposed design.

Other features of design are identified below and can be seen on the proposed changes map above:

• The proposed design will utilize the existing US 51 roadway on the north and south end as one roadway while an additional 2-lane roadway will be constructed along side.
• From Windsor Rd. to County V/North Street, all four lanes will be constructed east of existing US 51, and existing US 51 will be converted to a frontage road called North Towne Rd. All driveways and side road access points on the west side of existing US 51 will maintain access to North Towne Rd.
• Roundabouts will be constructed at the ramp terminals of the Windsor Rd. and County V/North Street interchanges, as well as on the north and south ends of proposed North Towne Rd.
• County V will be realigned east of US 51 between North Street and County V (east).
• Overpass structures will be constructed at proposed Bear Tree Parkway and Vinburn Rd. Side roads that currently intersect US 51 that will not have overpasses constructed, will become cul-de-sacs. These side roads are Reardon Rd., Gray Rd. (west), and Grinde Rd.
