US 41 (Wisconsin state line-Green Bay) Interstate Conversion - Need/purpose

Why is this project needed?

The federal Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), enacted in 2005, designated the US 41 Corridor as a future Interstate route.

Project will convert US 41 from a US highway to an Interstate.

Project benefits

Designating the highway as an Interstate is expected to:

• Bring economic growth from Milwaukee to Green Bay
• Increase the safety of the road for people and vehicles
• Create a corridor identity
• Bring broader benefits to the state of Wisconsin
