Upcoming extended overnight closures along I-43 in Milwaukee

As part of the ongoing I-43 project, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is notifying motorists of upcoming extended overnight closures between Brown Street and Capitol Drive in the city of Milwaukee. Extending these routine overnight freeway closures into the morning hours over the next few weekends will allow crews to conduct expedited storm sewer work, paving operations, and place traffic into its final configuration.

Key Details:

• Overnight directional closures will occur along I-43 over multiple weekends
• Each weekend, only one direction, northbound or southbound, will be closed at a time
• Overnight closures will occur roughly between the hours of 10pm – 8am the next morning
• One lane will remain closed until approximately 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings
• Nearby detour routes will be signed

Weekend Closure Outlook:

• Weekend of May 2: Northbound I-43

• Weekend of May 9: Southbound I-43
• Weekend of May 16: Northbound I-43
• Weekend of May 30: Southbound I-43
• Weekend of June 20: Northbound I-43

All work is weather-dependent and subject to change.
