State Trunk Highway 441 (often called the Tri-County Expressway, Highway 441, STH 441, or WIS 441) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Together with Interstate 41, the highway forms a beltway around the greater Appleton area, and is a freeway for the entire span of the route. It connects at both ends to its parent highway, I-41. It runs east–west and north–south in east central Wisconsin from near Neenah around Appleton to near Little Chute.
It routes through Winnebago, Outagamie and Calumet Counties. The Roland Kampo Memorial Bridge (known in the area as "The Polish Connection" due to the large percentage of Polish descent in the Menasha area) spans Little Lake Butte des Morts near the highway's southwest terminus.
The Roland Kampo Memorial Bridge was the first portion of this road completed; traffic began flowing on the bridge at 11 AM, November 30, 1975. The bridge, designated County Highway Q for its first years, extended from U.S. Route 41 to County Highway P/Racine Road (approximately 1.3 miles). The bridge was also the last portion of the Tri-County Expressway completed for more than a decade, with the remainder of the expressway mired in the proposal stage. The bridge became known as the "Polish Connection" by locals over time.
