Construction on Ryan Road Set to Begin

This week, you may have noticed orange barrels going up along Ryan Road as the Wisconsin Department of Transportation began reconstruction of the Ryan Road interchange on I-94 in Oak Creek. The project includes reconstructing the overpass bridge.

During construction, drivers can expect single lanes along the bridge going eastbound and westbound. Also, the Ryan Road Park and Ride will close in early December. All ramps are expected to remain open with only temporary closures to match the changing road configuration.

According to DOT, construction began on Wednesday, October 25 and is scheduled to conclude in fall 2018. The completion date could change depending on weather conditions over the next year.

Drug Take Back Day

Saturday, October 28, is Drug Take Back day. This program, sponsored in part by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, encourages citizens to properly dispose of old medication at one of the more than 340 drug disposal boxes around the state.

By disposing of medications properly, you’ll be doing your part to help keep painkillers and other drugs off the streets! Find a location near you http://doseofrealitywi.gov/drug-takeback/find-a-take-back-location/.
