The Wisconsin Department of Transportation safety and pavement improvement project for the interchange at Highway 60 and I-41 is scheduled to begin the week of April 20 in Slinger.

A $6.8 million safety improvement project was approved by Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers at the I-41 and Highway 60 interchange in Washington County.

The planned improvements include:

- Reconstructing the Highway 60 on-ramp to I-41 southbound to address merging conflicts.

- Widen and realign the right turn lanes at the I-41 southbound off-ramp to improve visibility.

- Addition of traffic signals at the southbound ramp terminal and extension of the westbound Highway 60 left turn lane.

- Partial deck removal

- Pavement resurfacing, new pavement markings and signage.

 

This project will require a combination of long-term and overnight closures along Highway 60 and the on and off-ramps to and from I-41. Detours will be posted. Single lane closures on I-41 will be limited to off-peak hours for bridge improvements.

Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained.

Work is scheduled for completion this fall.
