The report concerns the proposed U.S.H. 151 16.0-mile section of freeway from Sun Prairie, around Columbus, to a point 2.2 miles northeast of Columbus on existing U.S.H. 151, and the associated S.T.H. 73 1.5-mile relocation immediately northeast of Columbus. Completion of this section of freeway will be another step towards upgrading the Highway 151 corridor from Dubuque, Iowa to Madison, Wisconsin, Fond du Lac, the Fox River Vally, and Manitowoc. Columbus is the only city on U.S.H. 151 between Madison and Fond du Lac which has not been bypasses. In acquiring the right of way it was necessary to relocate four families and purchase 521 acres of farmland, 74 acres of wetland, and 25 acres of woodland. The project will induce changes in nearby land use, especially in and around the interchanges. Noise, air and water pollution will not increase significantly except along the relocated sections where no highway now exists.
