Public Meetings Announced for WIS 19 Study

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Southwest Region will hold two public involvement meetings to discuss the WIS 19 Safety and Operations Study in Dane and Jefferson County. The WIS 19 study corridor extends 30.5 miles between US 12 in Springfield to WIS 89 in Waterloo.

This is a planning-level preservation study to document existing and projected corridor conditions along WIS 19.

The study has evaluated the existing roadway conditions, identified deficiencies and concerns, and analyzed conceptual roadway improvements to improve safety and mobility.

The focus of the public meetings is to gather additional public input on potential improvement strategies throughout the study limits. The meetings will be held:
