County AP is known as Midway Road for its entirety. The trunk highway is four lane undivided for almost its entire length. The roadway was built by Winnebago County to serve development in the Town of Menasha. It ended at U.S. 10 (Oneida Street), which is also the county line. In the mid 1990s, the City of Appleton and Calumet County partnered together to extend County AP along Wis 441 to provide better access for local traffic. The new road tied into Plank Road, which was once County P. The segment south of the tie in was transferred to local control, and County AP ran along the segment northeast of Midway Road to County KK. Modifications to County AP were made near County KK to accommodate big box retail. County AP would curve east, then turn north onto the newly constructed Eisenhower Drive to County KK.
In 2008, Appleton and Calumet County extended Midway Road east as a four lane roadway to accommodate growth in a business park and to provide an alternate to the increasingly congested County KK. County AP was moved onto the newly reconstructed Midway Road and the old alignments were transferred to Appleton. The village of Harrison would also extend Midway Road as a controlled access roadway through a residential neighborhood to County N.

| County AP (Midway Road) begins at County P (Racine Road) a short distance east of Little Butte de Morts in west Appleton. Traffic from Menasha is presently using County AP to access U.S. 10 & Wis 441 as the County P interchange is closed for reconstruction. Photo taken 04/30/16. |

| Eastbound at the U.S. 10 west & Wis 441 south on-ramp. The signals here are temporary due to the extra traffic from interchange closures. Wisconsin only uses signals suspended from wires if the signals are temporary. Otherwise fixed poles are used. Future work here will also shift the freeway to the east. These bridges will be torn down as well. Photo taken 04/30/16. |
