The purpose of the Outagamie County Highway Department is threefold. First, the Department constructs and maintains the county trunk highway system (Lettered Highways: County A, County B, etc.) for the safe, convenient, and efficient movement of vehicles within Outagamie County. Second, the Department provides good quality, cost-effective roadway maintenance and construction services to the State of Wisconsin and local municipalities for state highways (Numbered Highways: Hwy 41, Hwy 441, Hwy 96, etc.) and local road systems (Named Roads). Finally, the Department plans, programs, and implements necessary county trunk highway improvements to efficiently accommodate increased traffic demands generated from area growth, and to enhance economic development and new job growth in Outagamie County.
