Interstate-43 repair project
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, on
Monday, September 25, 2017, is scheduled to commence with a
maintenance project on Interestate-43 from the Milwaukee/Ozaukee
County line to Wisconsin Highway 32. Lane closures will take
place in the overnight hours from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., during
weekdays, with possible lane and ramp closures during the
weekends. During these late-evening closures, a single lane of
mainline traffic will remain open in each direction at all
times. Consecutive ramp closures will not be occurring. Please
note that work restrictions will be in place during special
events such as Green Bay Packers home games.
The project will route and seal this ten-mile
stretch of freeway, along with interchange ramps. The
contractor, Fahner Asphalt Sealers, plans on completing this
$494,000 project this fall. This is a routine maintenance
project following up on the 2014 resurfacing of the corridor and
a continuation of the 2016 route and seal project in Milwaukee
and Ozaukee counties.
