State highway changes

US 10 expansion project - state highway system changes

As part of the US 10 project, various state highway route changes will occur in central Wisconsin. These changes are being done to reorganize the highway system to the proper jurisdiction. Some factors considered in defining these changes include safety, travel efficiency, system continuity, and traffic volumes.

Jurisdictional transfers (JT)

Upon completion of the new US 10, portions of existing US 10 and other state highways will be transferred to the jurisdiction of local units of government. WisDOT will coordinate the specifics of these JT and highway route changes with county and local governments. These changes will take affect as the associated US 10 projects are completed.

Summary of the JT and highway route changes:

WIS 13 and WIS 80 rerouting

The system changes involve the rerouting of WIS 13 and WIS 80 in central Wisconsin, which includes:

Rerouting WIS 13 to run concurrent with WIS 34 and US 10 from Wisconsin Rapids to Marshfield.
Extending WIS 80 from Pittsville to US 10 on existing WIS 13.
WIS 73 and WIS 34 would remain on their current routes.

These changes provide a more direct route for motorists traveling to US 10 and I-90/94. The distance and travel time between Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield will be reduced. Motorists would also benefit from more efficient travel by avoiding indirect travel to Veterans Parkway (WIS 13) in Marshfield and taking advantage of the most current safety and design standards used on Veterans Parkway, WIS 34, and new US 10.

The changes will be implemented when the new US 10 is completed, which is currently scheduled for 2012.
