The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking public input on improvements along WIS 16, from La Crosse Street to S Kinney Coulee Road in La Crosse, La Crosse County. Construction is currently scheduled for 2025 and 2027.
A presentation and materials detailing the WIS 16 project are available to view on the project website at
https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/projects/by-region/sw/wis16-lacrossecounty/default.aspx.
The project will address deteriorating pavement along WIS 16 between La Crosse Street and S Kinney Coulee Road. Additional improvements on this project include curb and gutter replacement, new pavement markings, signal updates at the intersection of Losey Blvd and WIS 16, and bridge rehabilitation on two bridges over the La Crosse River.
Traffic operations are under consideration. WIS 16 bridges over the La Crosse river will be completed at separate times and require full closures to complete the work.
All persons interested in the project are encouraged to view the website and provide input by contacting project staff via email, postal mail, or phone. Your comments will assist WisDOT in developing a project that will serve the needs of the traveling public and community. Your input is welcome and appreciated throughout the design process. Questions and comments can be directed to WisDOT Project Manager John Bainter at
john.bainter@dot.wi.gov, (608) 785-9729, or mailed to the WisDOT Southwest Region, 2101 Wright Street, Madison, WI 53704.
