Zoo Interchange construction updates; what you need to know

Published October 27, 2023 8:07 AM CDT

Some major construction project milestones are coming to the Zoo Interchange. Jason Roselle from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation joins FOX6 WakeUp with the details. 

The I-41 North exit to Burleigh Street and the Burleigh Street entrance ramp to I-41 South reopened last weekend and we are excited to share some major project milestones that are coming in the next week for the Zoo Interchange North Leg Project:

Wednesday, Nov. 1

  • I-41 North to open to 4 lanes from Swan Boulevard to Burleigh Street
  • I-41 North exit to westbound North Avenue to reopen
  • North Avenue entrance ramp to I-41 North to reopen

Thursday, Nov. 2

  • I-41 South to open to 4 lanes from Burleigh Street to Swan Boulevard
  • I-41 South exit to North Avenue east and west to reopen
  • North Avenue entrance ramp to I-41 South to reopen

 All of these openings are extremely weather-dependent. 

Once these lanes and ramps have opened crews will still have a number of weeks of work to complete on local roads to wrap up the project.
