WisDot To Look At Widening I-41 Between Appleton And De Pere

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will conduct a study of the potential expansion of Interstate 41 between Appleton and De Pere.  Although many stretches of that interstate have six lanes, it is a heavily-traveled four-lane stretch of highway there.  State Representative Dave Murphy of Greenville says the road is inadequate and dangerous for drivers.  Wis-DOT will look at data on crashes and how many cars use the road each day, and it will estimate to cost of expansion.  The process of adding two lanes to the interstate could take up to a decade.
