I-41 lane closures start Monday between Fond du Lac, Winnebago counties
OSHKOSH – Commuters will be faced with lane closures along Interstate 41 for the next seven months starting March 10 to facilitate road construction from County D in Found du Lac County to State 26 in Winnebago County. It's part of a $25.9 million multiyear project that began last October and is scheduled to finish in October this year. The construction of 14.2 miles between Military Road and Winnebago County will see structure maintenance on 10 bridges, box culvert construction and extensions, culvert pipe work, slope grading, restoration, beam guard replacement, cable guard replacement, shouldering and pavement marking. More Oshkosh news: Vel Phillips incident, Congolese refugees and more stories you may have missed in February During constriction, I-41 will remain open to traffic with lane and shoulder closures, but motorists may encounter slowed traffic as a result of lane closures. Two lanes will be maintained in both directions during peak hours. Traffic patterns are also scheduled to change to use temporary crossovers. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the project will improve deteriorating pavement and drainage structures on I-41 to extend the lifetime of the roadway and decrease future maintenance costs. Repair and replacement of culvert pipes are expected to mitigate water on the roadways, providing safer travel conditions for motorists. Beam guard and cable guard replacement will also allow for a safer corridor for commuters.
