Traffic Impacts:

WIS 32 (Lake Drive) will be closed to through traffic for the duration of construction. A single traffic lane will remain open for local access only.

Pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of the street during construction.

Construction Detour:

A detour will be posted for through traffic. The northbound and southbound WIS 32 detour will utilize Kenwood Avenue, Oakland Avenue, and Hampton Avenue.

Those looking to access Lincoln Memorial Drive are encouraged to use Kenwood Boulevard, Oakland Avenue, and Hampton Road to get around the closure.
