County OO

Home » Guides » Wisconsin » County OO

County OO is the original US 41 bypass of Appleton. The road was completed in 1937 and was designated as US 41 until a new freeway was completed about a mile north in 1962. County OO replaced the US 41 designation and is a mostly four lane east-west arterial that serves the northern Fox Cities.

The west end of County OO ties into a parclo interchange with Wis 15 west at Interstate 41. This exchange was originally a partial wye interchange with access to both directions of U.S. 41 but to County OO only from U.S. 41 north.

County A (Lynndale Drive) is a busy north south arterial that begins at Wis 125 (College Avenue) and travels north to Wis 47. It represents a short cut route for traffic using Wis 47 north to Shawano, since Wis 47 curves northwest to run directly north with County A north of Appleton. 04/18/16
