This project will require a combination of long-term and overnight closures along WIS 60 and the on/off-ramps to/from I-41. Detours will be posted during long-term closures. Single lane closures on I-41 will be limited to off-peak hours for bridge improvements.
Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained.
