Construction Begins on Wisconsin Avenue Bike Lanes

Editor's Night: The following information was provided by an email about the City of Waukesha.

Construction will begin on Monday to install dedicated bike lanes on Wisconsin Avenue from St. Paul Avenue to Broadway. 

During the construction, the outside driving lane (curb lane) will be closed off and no parking will be allowed curbside. The roadway will be open to one lane of traffic in each direction. Drivers will need to use caution since the driving lanes will be narrower with the orange barrels during construction.

Construction is expected to last two weeks. When the project  is done, the traffic patterns will have changed and Wisconsin Avenue will be one lane each direction with bike lanes and room for parking.  The southbound left turn from Clinton Street to Wisconsin Avenue will be reduced to one left turn lane and one right turn lane.
