The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is hosting the second round of public involvement meetings to gather input on the I-39/90/94 environmental study along 67 miles of Interstate in Dane, Columbia, Sauk and Juneau counties. The study limits are from US 12/18 in Madison to US 12/WIS 16 in Wisconsin Dells.
The meetings are scheduled at the following locations and times:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 2023
4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Yahara Elementary School (Cafeteria/Gymnasium)
234 N. Lexington Parkway, DeForest, WI 53532
THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2023
4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Wisconsin Dells Middle School (Gymnasium)
520 Race Street, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965
The purpose of these meetings is to provide updates on the environmental study process and gather public input on the following:
- Corridor study purpose and need
- Mainline and interchange alternatives with a range of transportation impacts and solutions
The ongoing study is assessing how best to address safety issues, existing and future traffic demands, and the aging and outdated infrastructure along this portion of the Interstate.
WisDOT is identifying project needs and evaluating a range of alternatives in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS process, which includes ongoing opportunities for public involvement, will lead to the identification of a preferred alternative. There are no alternatives (bypasses) being considered off the current Interstate alignment.
The same information will be shared at each meeting. The public may attend at their convenience and ask questions regarding this study. WisDOT staff will be available to discuss the study on an individual basis. A presentation will also be provided on a continuous loop during the meetings.
