Public meeting Nov. 18 for WIS 59/164 project in Waukesha County

November 5, 2009

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has announced a public information meeting is scheduled to discuss improvements to the intersection of WIS 59 and WIS 164 in Waukesha County. The meeting is scheduled from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009 at Waukesha West High School, 3301 Saylesville Road, Waukesha.

The proposed concepts include improvements to the WIS 59/164 intersection to provide free flow traffic movements between these major highways. Design concepts being considered for the intersection include the addition of acceleration and deceleration lanes, providing for a dual left-turn lane from eastbound WIS 59, lengthening turn lanes, and reconfiguration of existing right-turn lanes to allow for free flow right turns.

Construction is currently scheduled to begin in 2011.

The community is encouraged to attend anytime between 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Displays illustrating the existing roadway condition and proposed roadway improvements will be available for review and the project team will be available to provide information and answer questions.
