Traffic Impacts:
This project will be completed in two stages:
Stage 1: Bridge replacement (2026-2027)
- WIS 100 (Mayfair Road) will be impassable at the Menomonee River during bridge replacement work.
- The posted detour will utilize Burleigh Street, I-41, and WIS 190 (Capitol Drive)
- Note: Rehabilitation work on I-41, between Burleigh Street and Silver Spring Drive, has been completed and will not affect the posted detour.
Stage 2: Milling and paving (2027)
- Motorists can anticipate various lane closures during resurfacing work. The entire WIS 100 corridor between Burleigh Street and Silver Spring Drive will be resurfaced.
Local access will be maintained to businesses and residences.
