GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Immediate changes are coming to Brown County’s most dangerous intersection until a construction project to make it safer can begin.
Starting Monday, Feb. 6, concrete barrier walls will be installed along Packerland Drive, south of Mason Street due to continued high rate of injury crashes on the south frontage road.
The south frontage road and driveways at Hardees and the south Shell Station driveway will become right in and right out only.
The barriers will help reduce crashes in the area until construction can start this summer.

Since Jan. 1, there have been two more injury crashes at the Packerland Drive and south frontage road intersection. The left-turn and crossing maneuvers are the cause of the majority of injury crashes at that location.
The four-stage, $3.5 million construction project will eliminate crossing access to frontage roads near Packerland Drive and Mason Street, build a roundabout between the intersection and Southwest High School, and the entrance to NWTC will be revised.
