STH 33 Reconstruction Project | |
Name of Highway: WIS 33
Location: Milwaukee River Overflow Bridge (Saukville) to South Tower Drive (Port Washington)
Schedule: May 24 to December 2011, April 2012 to 1 June 2012
Length of Project: 2 miles
Cost: $12 million
Type of Work: WIS 33 from Saukville to Port Washington will be reconstructed from a 2 lane roadway to a four-lane divided roadway. Roundabouts will be added at Market Street, Northwoods Road and at the County LL overpass (the County LL overpass structure will be removed). Also the traffic signals at Foster, I-43 SB ramps and I-43 NB ramps will be replaced. Street lighting, sidewalks and a multi-use path will also be added to this project.
Traffic Impacts: WIS 33, between Saukville and Port Washington, will be built half at a time, with traffic operating on a temporary roadway while the new section is being built, after the new section is built, then traffic will be switched. There will be a two-day detour to remove the County LL overpass structure (over WIS 33) and other short detours while the four ramps are reconstructed at the WIS 33 and I-43 interchange. Each ramp will be closed for approximately one week and traffic will be detoured to the next interchange immediately north or south of the WIS 33 interchange (depending on which ramp is closed). Mitigation contracts are in place with the State Patrol to help minimize traffic impacts.

| House Number Placement | |
Where is your house number located?
A recent training exercise pointed out that many homes in the Village had address numbers mounted on their mailbox but not the house itself. The Village's Municipal Code requires that all homes have their house number mounted on the home itself, in a contrasting color, so that it is clearly visable from the roadside. This assists emergency responders to locate the residence in the event of an emergency. Mail boxes are not proper identifiers for house addresses and may be obstructed by plantings, snow, etc. |
