Were additional noise barriers recommended to be built upon freeway reconstruction?
The recommended freeway reconstruction plan does assume the construction of additional noise barriers and the reconstruction of existing noise barriers. The locations of the additional noise barriers were not determined as part of the freeway reconstruction study, but during a previously completed study conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation entitled Wisconsin Noise Barrier Study. However, the specific location and extent of noise barriers ultimately to be included in reconstructed regional freeway system will be determined in a segment-by-segment preliminary engineering and environmental studies.
