WIS 165 study - need

As planned development continues along WIS 165, traffic volumes will grow to levels that can no longer be safely handled on a two-lane rural highway.

Problems on the existing highway include:

• Crash rates nearly double the statewide average.
• Narrow shoulders.
• Poor intersection alignment at County ML.
• Numerous access points that cause conflicts between local turning traffic and through traffic.

The 2020 Regional Transportation System Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin, prepared by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC), recommends a future four-lane highway on WIS 165 from WIS 31 to WIS 32.
