The areas served by this connecting route are a commercial area near the Interstate which is adjacent to a growing industrial park between the Interstate and WIS 31 (Green Bay Road) to the east; and a predominantly residential area between WIS 31 and WIS 32 (Sheridan Road) near the shore of Lake Michigan.
Route description
WIS 165 runs east-west in Pleasant Prairie. Between its eastern terminus at WIS 32 and WIS 31, it is an undivided highway. West of WIS 31, it becomes a multi-lane divided highway until its western terminus at an interchange with I-41/I-94/US 41. West of I-41/I-94/US 41, it continues west as CTH-Q.[1]
History
The first WIS 165 in Wisconsin was a short connector between US 41 and WIS 55 in the present-day village of Germantown in 1926. In 1953, the designation was removed from this stretch of highway when the US 41/US 45 concurrency was routed to its present alignment.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Before it was numbered as a Wisconsin Highway, much of the current WIS 165 was designated as CTH-Q.[2] A section near the Des Plaines River was constructed in 1988.[3] The current WIS 165 was numbered in 1990, the same year nearby WIS 174 was decommissioned.[4][5] In 2017, the section between Corporate Drive and Terwall Terrace was widened to four lanes, making all of the highway west of WIS 31 four lanes.[3][6]
In 2006-2007, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the impacts of widening WIS 165 between WIS 31 and WIS 32 to a four-lane road with the intention of improving traffic flow and safety.[7] The study recommended the section be widened to four lanes and roundabouts be constructed at three intersections.[8]
