Beloit Safety and Weight Enforcement Facility (SWEF #19) As prime consultant for WisDOT Central Office, KL Engineering analyzed the potential for upgrading the Utica SWEF and recommended a new site within the 40-mile corridor along northbound IH 39/90 between the Wisconsin/Illinois state line and the existing Utica site. The study involved an initial evaluation of nine potential sites, where a ranking system was used to identify the three sites where construction of the facility would be most feasible. The three sites were evaluated to determine the site that best met the needs of the State Patrol in implementing Wisconsin's Safety and Weight Enforcement Program. Five additional sites proposed by Rock County were also evaluated. Upon approval of a recommended site, KL Engineering completed the design of the SWEF. The site includes an Operations Building with a safety inspection facility, a mainline weigh-in-motion (WIM) scale and pre-pass system, a type III WIM on the entrance ramp, a triple platform static scale, and parking for 30 trucks. The engineering design included geometric layout, ramps, traffic analysis, storm water detention, R/W plat, lighting, and sewer and water. Several public involvement meetings were held and a public hearing upon completion of the Environmental Assessment, and preparation of a will selling letter. The project was constructed in 2008.
