The project proposes expansion to a four lane dual freeway of the existing U.S. Highway 51 from the south county line of Marquette County to the Highway 54 interchange south of Plover, a distance of about 56 miles. The plans are in accordance with the planning and provisions made since the mid-1950's. The purchase of private access and the revision of the local road systems will cause adjustments in local travel patterns. This will be an important safety and efficiency impact for Highway 51 traffic through the elimination of turning movements and slow moving vehicles. The 770 acres of land and 27 buildings acquired for highway purposes will result in a change from their current uses. The remaining existing or planned developments should not be disrupted by the highway. Highway oriented business development will probably occur at the important interchanges. The electric power, telephone, gas and oil facilities located within the proposed project will require adjustments to accommodate the new highway facility. Area, regional and state social, economic, and recreational activities should be enhanced due to the safety, utility, and efficiency of the improved highway.
