US 14/61 improvements, Segment 2: Westby Bypass

The design for this section of US 14/61 around the west side of Westby consists of a two-lane roadway on new alignment.

The roadway will begin at Cut A Cross Road northwest of Westby and will travel 3.4 miles southeasterly to meet up with the new four-lane highway near Tristate Road.

The new roadway will consist of two 12-foot driving lanes and 6-foot shoulders on each side.

The estimated total cost for this section will be $8 million.

Construction of the new facility will have minimal impact to the traveling public. Temporary lane closures will occur for short durations where the proposed bypass connects into the existing US 14/16 at Cut A Cross Road and Tristate Road.

Local roads intersecting the proposed bypass may be impacted for periods during construction. Local roads that may be affected include:

Nestingen Lane
Allen Drive
Unseth Road
Neprud Road
Hegge Road

Access to the proposed two-lane bypass will be limited to at-grade intersections at the following roads:

Unseth Road (from east and west)
Neprud Road (from south)
Hegge Road (from north and south)
Tristate Road (from west)

Cul-de-sacs will be constructed on Neprud Road from the north and Tristate Road from the east.

Agricultural access points will be provided at selected locations as coordinated in the Environmental Impact Statement.
