Work on expanding I-41 between De Pere and Appleton will start in April, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
The project will add a lane in each direction for 23 miles from Wisconsin Avenue in Grand Chute to Scheuring Road in De Pere. It will create six lanes matching the existing six lanes on either end of the project.
Construction is scheduled to last through fall of 2029. According to the DOT, four lanes of traffic will remain open during peak hours.
Work will begin around the Highway 15/County OO interchange and Capital Drive overpass with additional work this summer and fall around Highway N interchange.
In addition, work is planned in 2024 on I41 from Breezewood Lane to Highway 15 for pavement repair as well as rehabilitation of approaches, bridges and other structures. That will lead to lane closures and the longer-term closure of the County II northbound ramp and some local roads.
And work planned for Highway 441 from I41 to Oneida Street will lead to short term closures of the Highway P/Racine Street ramps in Menasha.
