US 51 central segment - Stoughton Road

The US 51 central segment includes 10 miles of US 51 (Stoughton Road) from Terminal Drive/Voges Road in the village of McFarland to WIS 19 in the town of Burke. 

This portion of US 51 has three major components:

• Need
  Completed in June 2003, the needs assessment determined the existing roadway's condition and how future traffic volumes will impact traffic flow. The study indicated there was sufficient need to study potential improvement alternatives.
• Short-term improvements
  The needs assessment identified a number of short-term improvements that could mitigate existing problems in the corridor. A WisDOT corridor management team is working to identify and implement these improvements on an ongoing basis. In addition, the city of Madison is making improvements in the corridor. 
• Alternatives analysis
  This analysis will involve development of long-term solutions to address the problems identified in the needs assessment and completion of an environmental impact statement (EIS). The alternatives are being developed and selected with public input. A summary of the estimated costs, real estate impacts, and wetland impacts is provided.
