Verona Road links major economic centers of northeastern Iowa, Madison, and the Fox Valley via the National Highway System and is a critical corridor in Dane County, the fastest-growing county by population in Wisconsin, double the rate of any other county in the state. Verona Road is also an important commuter corridor for major businesses in the area, including Sub Zero Inc. and Epic Systems-Dane County's second largest employer with more than 10,000 employees. Verona Road and County PD carry approximately 56,000 and 34,000 vehicles per day, respectively, with nearly 10% truck traffic. The $265 million Verona Road Project is part of the Wisconsin DOT's (WisDOT) Majors Program and was divided into two stages. Stage 1 is complete and included the reconstruction of Verona Road between Raymond Road and the West Madison Beltline. Stage 2 included the reconstruction of Verona Road between County PD and Raymond Road, as well as a portion of County PD. Stage 2 was completed on time in November 2020 and under budget at $86.7 million. |
