The West Waukesha Bypass project connected WIS 59 to I-94 on the west side of Waukesha with a 4-lane thoroughfare. The project runs along Meadowbrook and Merrill Hills roads from WIS 59 to Northview Road and was completed in two phases. Phase 1 included reconstruction of the segment from US 18 (Summit Avenue) to Northview Road. Phase 2 construction included the segment from WIS 59 to US 18.
This was a joint venture project, involving design and planning efforts from the city of Waukesha, Waukesha County, and The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
De Vor Communications was responsible for public outreach on Phase 1 of the project which required extensive Public Involvement. This controversial project included very close coordination with the various agencies and multiple key stakeholders. Several 1-1 meetings with businesses and residential homeowners were held throughout construction during this phase of the project. The De Vor Team was also responsible for coordinating with contractors on-site regularly throughout the project.
