WIS 83 project

WIS 83 is an important north-south highway serving regional traffic between I-43 at Mukwonago and WIS 16 at Hartland, as well as local traffic generated by development along the highway.

The 17-mile section of WIS 83 between Waukesha County NN and WIS 16 has been studied to determine how to best meet the long-term transportation needs of the corridor.  

The WIS 83 corridor study determined five projects were necessary to accommodate the growing traffic volumes and improve safety along the corridor:

• I-94 to WIS 16, resurface the existing lanes from Golf Road to north of Cardinal Lane
• High Meadow Lane to I-94, resurface the existing lanes
• The WIS 16 and WIS 83 interchange from Capital Drive to Campus Drive, reconstruct and expand four lanes
• County NN to WIS 59
  • Reconstruct County NN to County X, four lanes
  • Construct two lanes on ultimate four lane from County X to Walnut/Seville
  • Two lane curb and gutter from Walnut/Seville to Old Village Road
  • Widen shoulders and improve signals from Old Village Road to WIS 59
• County DE to High Meadow Lane, reconstruct and expand four lanes

The first project, I-94 to WIS 16, is expected to being in the spring of 2008.
