Why can t WisDOT improve the critical intersections along WIS 164 and allow the highway to remain a two-lane road?
Federal guidelines determine when highways should be expanded. WisDOT strongly believes that the long-term travel efficiency and user safety along WIS 164 will be compromised if the highway is not expanded when traffic volumes exceed 13,000 vehicles per day. WisDOT views intersection improvements and minor capacity improvements as means to address safety and travel efficiency as traffic builds toward the 13,000 threshold, but not as long-term solutions.
