Construction that could impact your commute

Construction is picking up! Sean Race with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation joins FOX6 WakeUp to talk about everything that's going to impact your commute.

·  Several overnight freeway closures of I-41 North and I-41 South will take place over the next few weeks for girder setting on the temporary railroad bridge and Meinecke Avenue bridge

·  The demolition of the original railroad bridge will necessitate a 54-Hour full freeway closure later this fall
