I-43 URT project to shift southbound lanes

 

By - Apr 29th, 2022 11:15 am

As part of the I-43 URT (Union Refrigerator Transit Company) bridge project, WisDOT is notifying motorists of upcoming lane shifts along I-43 southbound in the city of Glendale.

Beginning Saturday May 7, traffic heading south on I-43 will notice the southbound lanes shifted east, next to the northbound lanes, between Silver Spring Drive and Glendale Avenue. This new traffic pattern allows crews to construct the new southbound bridges over Hampton Avenue, the Milwaukee River, and Glendale Avenue. Traffic heading northbound remains in its current configuration.

Whether it’s in active work zones or routine daily commutes, motorists are reminded to drive safely, avoid distractions, and observe posted speed limits.  For real-time traffic information, visit: https://511wi.gov/
