According to the latest information from the Department of Transportation, the Ballard Road Interchange project will significantly impact several AASD northside schools in 2025, including Appleton North High School, Einstein and Kaleidoscope middle schools, Huntley Elementary School, and Appleton Public Montessori.
The Ballard Road overpass will be completely closed for most of the year, with reopening anticipated in "late fall." Additionally, all four interstate ramps at the Ballard Road interchange will be replaced between summer and fall, along with E. Capitol Drive between Ballard and Commerce Court. To determine if an alternate route will be necessary for you or your student, please visit the WISDOT I-41 Project - Ballard Road Interchange website for updates.
