Governor Evers approves roadway improvements along National Avenue

To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers has approved a $2.5 million improvement project along National Avenue (WIS 59) and Brewers Boulevard/Miller Park Way in Milwaukee County. The project will bolster mobility and traffic flow along local roadways prior to the permanent Hawley Road eastern ramp closures that will take place during the upcoming I-94 East-West project.

Zignego Company, Inc. is the prime contractor for the project. Construction is scheduled to begin the week of July 7, with completion in fall 2025.

 Improvements include:

• Widening of westbound National Avenue
• Adding a second left-turn lane for northbound Miller Park Way to westbound National Avenue
• Intersection and sidewalk improvements, along with bike lane accommodations
• New permanent traffic signals

What to expect:

• National Avenue and Brewers Boulevard/Miller Park Way will remain open to traffic
• Single lane closure on northbound and southbound Brewers Boulevard/Miller Park Way, at National Avenue
• Westbound National Avenue will be reduced to one lane from Brewers Boulevard/Miller Park Way to 50th Street
• On-street parking restrictions along both directions of National Avenue
• Alternating adjacent side road closures
• Access to businesses and residences will be maintained

All work is weather-dependent and subject to change. For more information, visit the project website at: https://www.94eastwest.wisconsindot.gov/
