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.
