The Community Blood Center’s (CBC) Appleton Donor Center remains open despite the road work happening nearby. CBC encourages donors who are scheduled to donate in Appleton to give themselves extra time to get to the donor center as alternate routes may be necessary.

Here’s what to know if you’re headed to the Appleton Donor Center.

Spencer Street, Casaloma Drive and Nicolet Drive:

The Spencer Street and Casaloma Drive intersection to the west of CBC is still closed at this time. The intersection of Spencer Street and Nicolet Drive to the east of CBC is still open to the north, south and west. Drivers cannot travel east on Spencer Street at this time. The entrance points to CBC Headquarters and Appleton Donor Center remain accessible. Donors are encouraged to take Nicolet Drive to Spencer Street and enter the Appleton Donor Center’s parking lot from either of two entrances.

College Avenue (Highway 125):

College Avenue is closed east of I-41. According to reports, it is expected to be closed until early November.

WBAY reports on August 28, 2023:

“The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says W. College Avenue (Highway 125) is closing today just east of I-41 so crews can replace a structure over Mud Creek. It’s expected to be closed until November 1.

The DOT recommends drivers heading north on I-41 who would normally exit and go east on College exit at Highway 10/441. They should head east on 10/441 to the S. Memorial Drive (Highway 47) exit and go north to College Avenue.

Drivers heading south on I-41 who would normally go east on College should exit at W. Northland Avenue (Highway OO). They should head east to N. Lynndale Drive and go south to College Avenue.”

Updated road pattern changes and information can be found by contacting the Town of Grand Chute at (920) 832-1581 or by visiting the town’s website here. CBC will continue updating its website and social media with any major changes for donors, visitors and team members who may be traveling to CBC Headquarters or the Appleton Donor Center.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
