Major reconstruction set

Wisconsin Department of Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb will formally announce details of the I-39/90 reconstruction project at a news conference scheduled for Thursday (April 12) at 11 a.m. at the Beloit Travel Wisconsin Welcome Center.

Transportation officials will be joined by local and state representatives and members of area stakeholder organizations.

The reconstruction of I-39/90 in Dane and Rock County will be one of the largest highway projects undertaken in south-central Wisconsin. The $715 million project to convert the Interstate to six lanes is scheduled for 2015 to 2021. Preliminary activities including public outreach and planning for improvements along alternate routes are underway.
