LITTLE CHUTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The I-41 overpass for Rose Hill Road – which was damaged in September – won’t be repaired, but will replaced as part of the I-41 expansion project, according to the DOT.

The Rose Hill overpass is now scheduled to be replaced in 2025, according to a DOT spokesman.
In all six overpasses will be replaced. The others are: Capitol Drive, French Road, Holland Road, Vandenbroek Road, and Buchanan Street.
Other bridge work may be done at the ten interchanges getting improvements.
