To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers has approved a $18.1 million resurfacing and bridge replacement project along WIS 100 (Mayfair Road/Lovers Lane), from Burleigh Street to Silver Spring Drive, Milwaukee County.

Improvements include:

- Resurface WIS 100 (Mayfair Road/Lovers Lane) within project limits

Stage 2: Milling and paving (2027)
