Project Details
This project will make improvements to the I-43 North-South Freeway from the Oak Leaf Trail to Bender Road in Milwaukee County. This project is located between WisDOT’s I-43 (Brown Street to Capitol Drive) project and the I-43 North-South (Glendale to Grafton) project.
This is a pavement resurfacing project to extend the service life of the existing roadway and improve the pavement condition.
Project Improvements:
- Remove the existing asphalt pavement and replace with five (5) inches of new asphalt
- Spot concrete repairs on all ramps within the Silver Spring Drive interchange
- Signal repairs at I-43 northbound exit ramp to Port Washington Road
- Structure maintenance improvements for various retaining walls and noise walls along I-43
- Structure-mounted noise wall replacement along I-43 southbound
- Drainage improvements
Traffic Impacts
Motorists should expect long-term single lane closures within project limits. Long-term lane closures are expected through summer 2025.
- I-43 northbound will be reduced from three (3) lanes to two (2) lanes from just north of Capitol Drive to Bender Road
- I-43 southbound will be reduced from three (3) lanes to two (2) lanes from Good Hope Road to the Oak Leaf Trail
Additional closures of local roads and ramps will be required throughout the project.
Schedule:
