Location and limits
Project ID 6430-20-00 is located at the intersection of WIS 76/School Road, 0.8 miles south of WIS 15. Construction is currently scheduled for 2024. The intersection is currently a two-way stop control intersection with two-lane rural roads on all four legs of the intersection. A multi-use trail crosses the west leg of School Road and runs south within the right-of-way (ROW) on the west side of the south leg of WIS 76.
Purpose and need
The purpose of the project is to address safety and level of service issues at the WIS 76 and School Road intersection. The project has been approved for a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Proposed improvements
The proposed improvements include:
- Installation of a single lane roundabout
- Single lane entries on east, west and south leg
- North leg entry will consist of a combination through/left lane and a right turn lane.
- New pavement structure
- Lighting
- Culvert/storm sewer replacement
- Curb and Gutter
- Signing and pavement marking
- Pedestrian accommodations at the intersection
- Sidewalk on School Road east of WIS 76
Public involvement
A virtual public involvement meeting was held in September 2020.
Project schedule
- Alternative roundabout design selected based on public input in winter 2020/2021
- Real estate acquisition is anticipated to begin in spring 2022
- Design is on-going and will continue through summer 2023
- Construction is tentatively scheduled for 2024
Right of way needs
Right-of-way acquisition in the form of Temporary Limited Easements (TLEs) and permanent acquisition (FEE) for various locations along the intersection are expected for grading and drainage at the intersection. Some FEE purchase will be required from trail right-of-way along the west leg of School Road in order to realign the trail to better match into the proposed project.
Traffic impacts
It is anticipated the roadway will be closed to through traffic and a detour route will be posted. The detour is currently expected to follow WIS 96, County CB, and WIS 15. Local access to property owners and businesses within project limits will be maintained throughout the project. Access to the town of Greenville trail will be maintained throughout construction.
