Weenie of the Week: No Name Nimrod From Neenah

We are proud to name this week’s Laura Lee and Cutter Weenie of the week: the unidentified big truck driver who decided to joyride through a local soccer field. The Neenah Police Department is still on the lookout for some guy with a big truck and probably a small … well, you know … who took that truck and drove it right onto a local soccer field on Halloween night. We’re not sure what Mahler Park did to this guy, but what this guy did to Mahler Park was douchey to the tenth degree. According to the pictures, because yes, there are cameras there, he tore up the field pretty good. Looks like at one point he almost got stuck and ripped up the field trying to get out. Still no idea if it was for a joyride, to show off, or if Waze took you off the road and onto the field, but this can be a reminder to everyone: off-road mode is not for city use. The truck is a dual cab, driven by a guy with a dual personality of dumb and dumber. Take a look and if you do have any information, please let the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department know.

Richmond Street bridge over I-41 to reopen soon, here's what we know

Drivers in the Fox Cities once again have full access to Appleton and Grand Chute via the Richmond Street/State 47 exit from Interstate 41. While the exit's on- and off-ramps opened in late October , commuters have awaited the completion of the overpass itself, making detours via Meade and Gillett streets to simply cross the interstate – or detours to Ballard Road or Northland Avenue, depending on where you needed to get via the interstate – a thing of the past. The bridge was closed and demolished in May as part of the ongoing I-41 project , which runs through 2030 and will reconstruct 23 miles of the interstate between Grand Chute and De Pere from four lanes to six and reconstruct a number of overpasses and underpasses to make room for the expansion, in addition to other improvements. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation in a Nov. 13 email to residents announced the bridge would reopen early in the week of Nov. 16. Richmond Street's new interchange looks different, what happened? Richmond is the third of three Appleton-area exits to be transformed from a traditional interchange into a diverging diamond as part of this project, behind Northland Avenue and Ballard
