Upcoming full, directional closure of eastbound I-894 in Milwaukee County
As part of the ongoing I-894 resurfacing project, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is notifying motorists of the upcoming full, directional closure of eastbound I-894 between the Hale Interchange and the Mitchell Interchange. The closures will allow crews to complete milling and paving work along the corridor.
This work will be conducted during a scheduled 54-hour closure this weekend.
11:00 P.M. Friday, September 27 – 5:30 A.M. Monday September 30:
- Eastbound I-894 is scheduled to close between the Hale Interchange and the Mitchell Interchange.
- Westbound I-894 will remain open to traffic.
NOTE: The ramp from westbound I-894 to southbound I-43 in the Hale Interchange will also close during this time.
I-894 Detours:
- Motorists are encouraged to use other regional routes such as I-43, I-41, and I-94 to get around the closure.
Access to businesses and residences will be maintained. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
