Traffic impacts

Lane Closures and Detours:

• Lane closures will be required on various lanes of USH 61 for base patching and milling operations. Temporary Regulatory Speed Limit Reductions will be used in the active work areas. Lane closures will utilize a Digital Speed Reduction System (DSRS) that will notify travelling public of the current speed limit in the work areas of the project. Lane closures will remain in place day and night as work operation require their use. Please follow and obey the work zone speed limit.
• Lane closures will be required on STH 11 for pavement removal, grading , and paving operations. A single-lane automated traffic signal system will be in place at the far east project limit on STH 11 for a portion of the STH 11 work area due to restricted working width in that area. We ask that all motorists stay alert in this area for slowed or stopped traffic.
• Ramp closures will be required to repair the ramps at the STH 11 and USH 61 interchange, the Badger Road interchange with USH 61, the Eagle Point Road Interchange with USH 61, and the ramps at the split diamond interchange at Kieler. These ramp closures will occur at various times throughout the project. All ramp closures will be accompanied by a corresponding signed detour route. Please pay close attention revised routing at detour signage in the project vicinity.
