MILWAUKEE -- The highly-trafficked stretch of N. Prospect Avenue from Ogden Avenue to North Avenue on Milwaukee's east side will be milled and repaved over the course of three days next week, the Milwaukee DPW announced Friday, June 19.

The plan is as follows:

On Wednesday, June 24, Prospect will be closed to traffic between Ogden and Royall for milling operation. The milling may continue north of Royall if time allows.

On Thursday, June 25, Prospect from Ogden to North will be fully closed to traffic. The paving operation will take place between Ogden and Royall, while milling will continue between Kane and North.

On Friday, June 26, the stretch of Prospect from Kane to North will be closed for paving.

A closure of Prospect is possible on Saturday, June 27 if there is any remaining work to be completed or if weather impacted the previous schedule.
