Lanes will be widened, median openings adjusted and intersections reconstructed between College and Drexel avenues.
The state Department of Transportation says it's hoping that reconstruction of 27th Street between Drexel and College avenues, just south of Greenfield, can begin in two years. Plans call for the lanes to be widened to 12 feet, with a 5-foot shoulder created to accommodate bicycles. Several median openings will be moved, closed or modified, project manager Tony Lazcano said. Intersections will also be widened and include new signals. Some real estate issues still need to be resolved, including negotiations to relocate four buildings, which could impact the start of construction, Lazcano said. "But right now we're working toward a 2015 construction," Lazcano said. At one point it appeared work would be delayed to 2017, which prompted a …

Closures this week at Watertown Plank Road and south for utility work are percursor to full reconstruction planned to begin in March, DOT says.
If you think you've seen a lot of detours and closings already, get set. You're about to get the first taste of the real deal – six years, or perhaps eight or nine, of the eye-popping Zoo Interchange Reconstruction Project. In preparation for major reconstruction that will begin in March and continue through next summer, a stretch of Mayfair Road will go down to one lane in each direction for part of the coming week, with more lane closures to follow, a Wisconsin Department of Transportation official says. Ryan Luck of the DOT, in an interview Friday morning with Patch's partners at Fox 6 News, said that one lane each way had already been closed and that only one lane in each direction would be open from Monday through Wednesday in the …

WisDOT strongly recommends motorists allow themselves additional time while traveling this weekend. The following is a list of the major roads in northeast Wisconsin most Packers fans will be traveling and the road conditions they should …

Deer hunters and holiday travelers will encounter fewer orange barrels on major highways.
From the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Although most major road construction projects have concluded for the year, drivers traveling during the Thanksgiving holiday may encounter some ongoing work and should be prepared for orange barrels, lane shifts, and reduced speeds. "Because of the extraordinary road construction season this year, we’ve been able to wrap up the majority of projects before Thanksgiving," said Don Greuel of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s (WisDOT) Project Services Section. "There no longer are detours on major highways for construction projects, but there are a few spots where lane restrictions are still in place." WisDOT expects traffic to be heavy on Friday, November 16, as deer hunters flock to…

Residents were informed of the road's improvements through a letter from the city's engineering division. The road project is scheduled to be near completion in October 2012.
After several years of finger crossing and hand wrenching, 124th Street is getting a much needed upgrade. Residents were informed of the road's improvements through a letter from the city's engineering division this week after work commenced Monday, April 23. "It's wonderful that after years of delay this terrible road is being fixed," Greenfield Mayor Michael Neitzke said. Director of Neighborhood Services Richard Sokol outlined the street's improvements for Greenfield Patch in late March. The entrances to the project area will be barricaded, but local traffic access will be maintained with some limitations during the course of construction. Residents were made aware that access to their propery and driveways could be impacted by …

The city's western border, 124th Street, will be closed for a good chunk of the summer, except to local traffic of course, as it gets a much-needed facelift.
A stretch of road on the city’s western border in desperate need of an upgrade will finally be repaved and reconstructed starting in April. And we do mean finally. Plans to work on a stretch of 124th Street from Cold Spring Road to Grange Avenue from April 23 through Sept. 1 have been approved after more than five years of preparations. A grant application for the project was approved in 2007, but various roadblocks kept the road on a perpetual “to-do” list. “It’s taken time in design. It’s taken time to acquire real estate, and it’s taken time to get all the necessary approvals from the state,” said Richard Sokol, Greenfield’s Director of Neighborhood Services. “We’ll be happy when it’s done.” We Energies had to move some power poles and …
