Multi-vehicle crash on State 441 causes major traffic backup, snarls traffic for two hours
(This story was updated to include new information.)
A multi-vehicle crash snarled the morning commute for about two hours May 9 on State 441's northbound lanes.
The crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. in Little Chute, just south of the Northland Avenue exit, according to Wisconsin State Patrol.
Both lanes were initially closed, but were reopened by 9:30 a.m.
Three days prior, on May 6, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation put out a notice warning drivers that, due to road construction on the overpasses over Interstate 41, detoured traffic would result in backups during peak travel hours this summer.
State 441's northbound Northland Avenue exit was one of the areas they said would be affected. The other area expected to experience backups is the southbound I-41 exit for Richmond Street in Appleton.
Peak driving hours are 7 to 8:30 a.m., and 4 to 6 p.m., according to WisDOT.

How to watch the 2025 IndyCar XPEL Grand Prix at the iconic Road America
As the NTT IndyCar season hits its midpoint, three names top the marquee for Sunday's XPEL Grand Prix at Road America: reigning series champion Álex Palou, two-time Elkhart Lake winner Josef Newgarden and defending race winner Will Power. The venue? A racing cathedral. Road America is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and its 4-mile, 14-turn layout remains as punishingly raw as it was in its 1955 debut: long straights, blind crests, massive braking zones and the infamous Carousel, where staying flat requires sheer bravery and absolute balance. Advertisement Venue: Road America — Elkhart Lake, Wis. Dates: June 20-22 Race coverage can also be streamed via the Fox Sports app. Fox is available over the air with a broadcast antenna. The championship chase is tightening. Palou still leads with 335 points, but Pato O'Ward (262) and Kyle Kirkwood (260) are closing fast. O'Ward has claimed four podiums so far in 2025 — three of them second-place finishes. Kirkwood is on a tear, with three wins (Long Beach, Detroit and his first oval at World Wide Technology Raceway). Road America is a bellwether. Since 2016, the winner here has finished outside the championship top three only twice, making this race far more than just a picturesque backdrop. Practice and qualifying carry weight. Last season's weekend was unusually tidy, but fans should heed the warning from 2023 — Palou, Dixon and Power all wrecked their cars in a single practice session before qualifying. Road America punishes hesitation and rewards nerve, making every session breathtaking. It's old-school, wide-open and worth watching start to finish. Expect a weekend as rewarding as it is ruthless. Read more from The Athletic's motorsports team ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix at Road America: 'There's some people who don't see or don't read the race early on. They probably look only at the first stint of the race and they don't look that it's a three-stop race. You need to get first at the end, not at the beginning. That's been something that has been working for me, but it's not that I invented it or suddenly I'm more intelligent than everybody else. I'm able to do that because I have a good car and a good team around me that makes me see that.' Streaming links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic. Restrictions may apply.

Wisconsin manufacturer to close, laying off 67 employees after failed sale attempt
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WFRV) – A longtime Wisconsin manufacturer specializing in custom steel forgings will permanently close its facility and lay off 67 employees later this year. According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Milwaukee Forge, located at 1532 East Oklahoma Avenue, will shut down operations following an unsuccessful effort to sell the company. Honda recalls over 259,000 cars due to brake pedal issue Michael S. Polsky was appointed as receiver of Milwaukee Forge, LLC and MF Real Estate Holdings, LLC on March 25, 2025. Since then, Polsky and a financial consultant have worked to sell the company's assets as a going concern through a court-supervised receivership proceeding. Despite those efforts, a sale could not be secured. As a result, a mass layoff and plant closure will occur, with employee separations set to begin on or after August 18, 2025. All health care benefits for employees will also terminate as of that date. Governor Tony Evers grants $1.8 million to Green Bay to cover public safety costs from NFL Draft The company stated that all employee positions will be permanently eliminated, and bumping rights will not apply, as all roles at the facility are being cut. Milwaukee Forge is known for its use of closed-die and hammer forging techniques to manufacture custom steel components. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
