Work to resume on multiple bridges over WIS 145 in Milwaukee County
W. Silver Spring Drive, N. 76th Street, and two pedestrian bridges to be improved.
Beginning this week, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will resume improvement projects on multiple bridges over WIS 145 (Fond Du Lac Freeway) in Milwaukee County. The W.

- Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction on WIS 145 (Fond Du Lac Freeway) during construction.
- Access to businesses and residences in the project limits will be maintained.
- Long-term on-ramp and off-ramp closures are expected at the 76th Street interchange at WIS 145 and the Silver Spring Drive interchange at WIS 145.
