A 2nd entrance to Epic is currently being constructed. County PD is being expanded to Country View Rd where there will be a new signal and entrance. I’m guessing a new road is going to be constructed from the interchange into the new west entrance.

The future second entrance already appears on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0111717,-89.5760368,703m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

I presume you work there.

No, just live nearby and use PD to get to US 18/US 151 on my Driftless Adventures.

The CTH PD has had some massive upgrades over the years. Previously, the four-lane roadway narrowed back to two lanes just west of Maple Grove Dr. Since then, there has been a lot of development, thus more of CTH PD has had to be expanded to four lanes. This includes the construction of a single-point intersection at the CTH-PD/CTH-M intersection: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0164118,-89.5325887,497m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu. I wouldn't be surprised if CTH-PD is eventually expanded to four lanes all the way to US 18/151.

That intersection is weird. PD westbound gets to free flow under County M but PD east has to stop at a light. I doubt PD is going to be made 4 lanes to US 18/US 151. The County G/Dairyridge Rd interchange is being upgraded and will serve traffic heading to Epic from Mt. Horeb.

I'm sure there would have been a free-flow lane constructed in the eastbound direction as well, had it not been for the substation located at the southeast corner of the CTH-PD/CTH-M intersection. The substation probably could have been relocated, and the power lines moved, but neither were.
