Brown County GV

County Trunk Highway GV forms a suburban arterial leading south from Lime Kiln Road (CTH-V) in the village of Bellevue to CTH-X (Heritage Road) in the town of Ledgeview. The route travels four miles currently, but will be extended southward to De Pete as part of a plan to construct a new bridge across the Fox River. Historically CTH-GV continued northward along Lime Kiln Road to Debra Lane in Green Bay, but during 2014 reconstruction of the route through Bellevue, new signs marked the end at CTH-V.

Brown County GV was expanded from CTH-G (Dickinson Road) to Hoffman Road, just south of the Wis 172 freeway, during work from April to November in 2012.¹ The section north from Wis 172 to Lime Kiln Road was reconstructed in 2014 to include a new roundabout with Landmark Boulevard. Additional expansion widened Monroe Road to four lanes with new roundabouts at Ledgeview Road and CTH-X in 2015 at a cost of $5.6 million.²
