APPLETON (NBC 26) — WIS 47/Richmond Street over I-41 in Appleton is closed through the fall, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
WisDOT says the project will rebuild the interchange as a diverging diamond to handle higher traffic volumes, improve safety and add features for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Northbound I-41 on and off-ramps are scheduled to close in late June through fall. Meanwhile, southbound I-41 on and off-ramps are scheduled to close in mid-July, also through fall.
These closures are part of the overall I-41 major project to reconstruct and expand 23 miles of I-41 from four lanes to six lanes between Wisconsin Avenue in Appleton and Scheuring Road in De Pere, according to the WisDOT.
