I-39/90/94 Interstate Study

The primary objective of public involvement in this important study was to provide opportunities for both outreach and feedback; and ultimately, significant interaction with stakeholders and interested parties during this environmental study. The De Vor team was responsible for dissemination of timely, accurate and understandable information to over 30,000 residents, businesses, local and elected officials, and other agencies such as Native American Tribes and Environment Justice (EJ) groups within the immediate vicinity of the corridor. Outreach includes project branding, the development of print and electronic communication materials including PowerPoint presentations, fact sheets, newsletters, web content, and interactive communications to be utilized at outreach events, posted on the project website and social media sites.

WIS 100 (Ryan Road)

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) resurfaced approximately 3 miles of WIS 100 between 60th Street and St. Martins Road in the City of Franklin, Milwaukee County from March 2025 to November 2025. Work included removing and replacing all concrete pavement, upgrading underground storm sewer equipment, installing upgraded traffic signals at intersections, updating pavement markings and signs, and installing a multi-use path along the length of the project. WIS 100 was closed to all traffic between 60th Street and Puetz Road during reconstruction operations, and a posted detour directed motorists around the closure.

WIS 50

De Vor Communications was hired as a subconsultant to lead public involvement and outreach services during the construction phase of the WIS 50 Project in the city of Kenosha and the villages of Pleasant Prairie and Bristol in Kenosha County. The four-mile project was divided into three phases for safety in work zones and to reduce travel constraints to the traveling public. Project work included the following:

  • Expanding the roadway to a 6-lane concrete highway between 117th and 57th avenues
  • Reconstructing the existing 4-lane roadway between 57th and 43rd avenues
  • Implementing access management measures, including driveway and median modifications
