US 10 expansion - public involvement

Meetings | Hearings | News releases | Newsletters/others

Highway projects are developed cooperatively by the public, state and federal review agencies and Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).

Preparing an expansion project like US 10 takes several years and extensive effort is always made to keep the public involved and informed.

Environmental studies and preliminary design for US 10 began in 1990. The final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for Trestik Road to I-39 was completed in 2004. The Record of Decision (ROD) was approved in May 2005, which allowed WisDOT to begin real estate acquisition and final design. An environmental assessment (EA) for the segment between Wood County B and WIS 34 south was completed in 2005 with a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) completed in January 2007.

Design of each of the construction projects begins approximately three years prior to construction. Final design includes detailed engineering and data gathering needed for the development of construction plans.

Contact with property owners regarding right of way acquisition begins approximately one to two years prior to construction of each project segment.
