STH 33 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT - UPDATE 

CautionThe north-bound I43 off-ramp is scheduled to be re-opened on Monday September 26th.  

 

The WisDOT has re-programmed the signal lights to better address traffic movements.

 

Work on the storm sewer will continue through the length of the project from Foster Drive to Northwoods Road.

 

To reduce frustration with traffic backups, pre-plan your travel through the area.  Do your shopping in the evening when traffic volumes are down.  Use CTH W and Mink Ranch Road or CTH W to Sauk Road to drive to Port Washington.  If you are traveling north on I43 to go to Saukville, take exit 93 ( Hwy. 32/CTH V), go south and turn right onto CTH W and go north.

 

The repaving of N. Mill Street, from Dekora St. to Friendship Lane, is scheduled to be completed on or before Monday, September 26th.

 

As always, please slow down and watch for construction equipment and personnel when driving through the project limits. Proceed with extreme caution. The contractor and WisDOT are making every effort to ensure a timely schedule.
