As part of the ongoing I-894 resurfacing project, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is notifying motorists of the upcoming full, directional closure of eastbound I-894 between the Hale Interchange and the Mitchell Interchange. The closures will allow crews to complete final paving work along the corridor. 
This work will be conducted during a scheduled 54-hour closure this weekend. 
   11:00 P.M. Friday, June 13 – 5:30 A.M. Monday, June 16:
- Eastbound I-894 is scheduled to close between the Hale Interchange and the Mitchell Interchange. 
 - Westbound I-894 will remain open to traffic.
 
NOTE: The eastbound I-894 exit ramp to WIS 36 (Loomis Road) will be closed starting Thursday, June 12 at 9:00 p.m. for equipment mobilization. 
   I-894 Detours:
- Motorists are encouraged to use other regional routes such as I-43, I-41, and I-94 to get around the closures.
 
Access to businesses and residences will be maintained. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
