WIS 164 study - need

Motorists encounter several problems along the WIS 164 corridor including:

  • High traffic volumes, especially in Waukesha County, that hamper efficient and safe travel.
  • Blind intersections, sharp hill crests and narrow shoulders that cause difficult and unsafe operations.
  • A high number of access points that result in tightly-spaced and unsafe entry points to the highway. These include major intersections, side streets, commercial entrances, and residential driveways and field entrances.
  • Development that adds to traffic congestion and affects driving conditions.

The WIS 164 reconstruction study addressed these problems by:

  • Identifying traffic safety and operational issues.
  • Documenting the effects of potential improvements to WIS 164 or alternative routes.
  • Preparing an engineering concept plan to serve as a framework for local officials to make land use decisions.
