State Trunk Highway 441 (often called the Tri-County Expressway, Highway 441, STH 441, or WIS 441) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Together with US 41, the highway forms a beltway around of the greater Appleton area, and is a freeway for the entire span of the route. It connects at both ends to its parent highway - U.S. Route 41. It runs east-west and north-south in east central Wisconsin from near Neenah around Appleton to near Little Chute.

It routes through Winnebago, Outagamie and Calumet Counties. The Roland Kampo Memorial Bridge spans Little Lake Butte des Morts near the highway's southwest terminus.

[edit] Termini

US 10 follows the route from its southwest junction with US 41 in Neenah to Oneida Street just south of Appleton in Menasha where it turns off southeast. This junction is a partial cloverleaf interchange that does not include for traffic movements which are:

• sastbound US 10 to southbound US 41.
• southbound US 41 to westbound US 10.
• northbound US 41 to westbound US 10.
• Eastbound US 10 to southbound US 41.

These were elimiated in 1997 due to safety concerns - they were at-grade intersections.^[2] The northeastern junction with US 41 is a trumpet interchange - with the loop ramp from US 41 westbound to WIS 441 southbound.

[edit] Major Cities

The route serves as an eastern and southern beltway route to complete a loop around Appleton while US 41 serves as the northern and western route. The route provides direct access to:

[edit] Future Plans

WisDOT is studying options for expanding the route from west of US 41 to east of Oneida St from four to six lanes along with the upgrading of interchanges along the section. The study also includes options for completing the road's interchange with US 41 by installing the missing ramps, adding auxiliary lanes to US 41 and upgrading the Kampo Memorial Bridge.^[2]
