Project overview

US 18/151 is an important roadway connecting the major Midwest cities of Dubuque, Iowa and Madison, Wisconsin. US 18/151 is identified as a Backbone Route in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WisDOT) Connections 2030 Plan.

The plan places high priority in protecting these highway investments that connect major economic/population centers and carry long-distance, statewide traffic.

The purpose of this study is to develop a long-term highway plan for converting this 28 mile portion of US 18/151 to a freeway.

The Study will result in a plan for the eventual removal of all direct access by existing local roads and driveways onto US 18/151.

This study is focusing on identifying and planning improvements to long-term access to and from the corridor, not adding additional capacity (travel lanes on US 18/151).

Status/phase

Study to be completed in 2013, with construction activity in Ridgeway scheduled in 2017. (see Section 5 map for details)
