US 51 corridor, Dane County central segment (Stoughton Road)

Project location

This segment is located on US 51 (Stoughton Road) from Terminal Drive/Voges Road in the village of McFarland to WIS 19 north of I-39/90/94 in the town of Burke.

Project overview

This segment of US 51 has three major components:

Needs Assessment (NA)

• Completed in June 2003, the Needs Assessment (NA) determined the existing roadway's condition and how future traffic volumes will impact traffic flow.
• The study indicated there was sufficient need to study potential improvement alternatives.

Short-term improvements

• The NA identified a number of short-term improvements that could mitigate existing problems in the corridor.
• A Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) corridor management team is working to identify and implement these improvements on an ongoing basis. In addition, the city of Madison is making improvements in the corridor.

Alternative analysis

• This analysis will involve development of possible long-term solutions to address the problems identified in the NA.

Status/phase

Traffic, Safety, Needs, and Impacts Assessment Study (TOSNIA) with no construction activity.
