US 14 reconstruction

US 14 is an important route in and around the Madison metropolitan area. Between WIS 92 and County MM, near Oregon, existing US 14 does not have the capacity or design to carry the rising traffic volumes in the area.

To address this issue, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is undertaking two reconstruction projects on this section of US 14. In 2010, WisDOT plans to expand existing US 14 to four lanes from County MM to WIS 138. In 2016, US 14 will be reconstructed as a new two-lane, limited-access highway between WIS 138 and WIS 92. This section of roadway will be relocated onto right of way originally purchased in 1976.

WisDOT is also planning a traffic model for the US 14/WIS 138 interchange. With this model, WisDOT can determine what is causing the existing problems at the interchange and can find a solution. The model will also show how the proposed project will handle current and future traffic volumes. Improvements to the interchange are proposed for construction in 2011.

WisDOT resurfaced US 14 between WIS 92 and WIS 138 from August to September 2005 and plans to resurface US 14 between US 12/18 and County MM in 2010.
