US 51 north segment - expansion from Reardon Road to County V (Grinde Road)

In order to maintain an efficient transportation system, WisDOT plans to reconstruct US 51 as a 4-lane divided highway with interchanges from Reardon Road to just north of Dane County V (Grinde Road).

The existing two lanes will be reconstructed and an additional two lanes added to create a 4-lane divided highway. The new 4-lane divided highway will transition back to two lanes just north of County V (Grinde Road).

The additional lanes from Reardon Road to Vinburn Road will be constructed east of existing US 51. From Vinburn Road to County V (Mueller Road), all four lanes will be built east of existing US 51 to permit existing US 51 to be used as a frontage road. From County V (Mueller Road) to County V (Grinde Road), the two new lanes will be constructed west of existing US 51.

WisDOT is currently developing a proposal to enumerate the 4-lane capacity expansion as a major highway development project.
