Verona Road/US 151 study - Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) identifies corridor needs, investigates alternative solutions and analyzes impacts of those alternatives. Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) completed the Draft EIS documenting this work in 2003. It outlined two viable Verona Road alternative solutions and is available for public review.

The DEIS also documents other alternatives that were investigated but determined not to be viable solutions to the stated corridor needs. One such alternative is known as the South Reliever. This is a bypass that would roughly parallel the Beltline south of Madison. It would connect the Verona Road bypass with US 14 at minimum, and possibly extend east all the way to I-39. Although dismissed as a viable solution to existing and future Verona Road needs by WisDOT in 2002, interest in the alternative by many living near Verona Road led to creation of a separate report describing the alternative and reasons why it was dismissed. That study is also available for public review via the links below.
