Construction update; Zoo Interchange North Leg Project continues

Jason Roselle from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation joins FOX6 WakeUp with a look at the changes.

As the summer continues – so do the updates to area road construction. Jason Roselle from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation joins FOX6 WakeUp with a look at the changes.

The Zoo Interchange North Leg Project continues to work on the new I-41 South lanes and eyes a late fall completion which includes the opening I-41 North/South to 4 lanes in each direction from Swan Boulevard to Burleigh Street as well as the reopening of the North Avenue ramps to/from I-41
The Burleigh Street entrance ramp to I-41 South is scheduled to open in mid to late September, with a 3-week closure of the I-41 North exit to Burleigh Street scheduled in October, for drainage and paving work
Along I-43, the newly constructed Katherine Drive entrance ramp to I-43 North and the County Line Road entrance ramp to I-43 South reopened this morning, with the remainder of the County Line Road ramps scheduled to open in the coming weeks
A northbound I-43 traffic shift will take place next week, between the UPRR and Good Hope Road, with northbound traffic being shifted to the west creating bi-directional traffic in the southbound lanes.
During State Fair, lanes and ramps near the Fair will not be impacted by our projects, so you can stick to your trusted routes.
If you're headed to the Fair visit the WisDOT booth where staff will be on hand to answer questions about current and upcoming projects, including I-94 East/West.
