The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Southeast Region in Waukesha is announcing that work is set to begin early next week on the Fond du Lac Freeway bridges is Milwaukee County.

The scope of work includes rehabilitating six bridges on the east and westbound lanes of WIS 145 over Little Menomonee River Parkway, W. Mill Road and N. 92st Street. Additional work will include grading, asphalt pavement, concrete pavement, concrete curb and gutter, beam guard, signing and lighting.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction until the work is completed. The eastbound WIS 145 on-ramp from 91st Street will be closed for the duration of the project. A detour route will proceed south on N. 91st Street, east on W. Silver Spring Drive, southeast on W. Fond du Lac Avenue, to the eastbound on-ramp to WIS 145. Other traffic impacts are as follows:

·         -Westbound WIS 145 exit to Greentree Road/102nd Street (exit 10A) will be closed during stage 1 only

·         -Little Menomonee River Parkway and W. Mill Road will be closed periodically, though never at the same time.

·         -The Oak Leaf Trail, which runs along Little Menomonee River Parkway, will be detoured via W. Mill Road.

The contractor, Zenith Tech, plans to complete the job by late November.
