Closure necessary to complete rock blasting operations

Crews plan to close the northbound and southbound lanes of I-39/US 51 between WIS 153 and the Kowalski Road overpass at 7:30 p.m. for approximately 5 to 20 minutes on Wednesday, August 15.

The temporary freeway closure is necessary for crews to blast rock adjacent to the highway for construction of the new northbound off-ramp to Maple Ridge Road.
