6-1-15 dot appealing hwy 23 ruling

The state Department of Transportation will get another opportunity to state its case on why Highway 23 needs to be expanded to four lanes.  The DOT is appealing a federal judge’s ruling halting the project between Fond du Lac and Plymouth.   The judge said the DOT overinflated its traffic projections  and a hearing is scheduled today.  Sheboygan state senator Devin Lemahieu says he is still upset that the judge waited until just a few days before the project was scheduled to resume to issue his ruling.
