Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill directs the Department of Transportation to designate and mark the
route of STH 28, commencing at the I 41 and STH 28 interchange in Dodge County
and proceeding easterly to the intersection with STH 144 in Washington County, as
the “Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial Highway.”
This bill also requires DOT to erect and maintain directional signs along I 41,
USH 45, and STH 28 for the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial and Education Center in the
village of Kewaskum in Washington County.
Current law requires DOT to publish highway service maps and folded highway
maps of the state highway system. DOT must identify on these highway service maps
and folded highway maps each veterans memorial highway or bridge and the
location of specified veterans memorials, homes, and museums. This bill requires
DOT to identify the location of the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial Highway and the
Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial and Education Center on these maps.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
