Ramp closure at I-39/Business 51 interchange in Rothschild rescheduled for March 25

March 13, 2013

The closure of the on-ramp to northbound I-39/US 51 from Business 51 (Exit 185) in Rothschild has been rescheduled. Crews now plan to close the on-ramp on Monday, March 25. The schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions and construction status.

The on-ramp closure is necessary for crews to reconstruct the I-39/US 51 southbound bridge over Business 51. The ramp will remain closed until late August 2013. During the closure, traffic will be detoured via Business 51 and WIS 29. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow more travel time to avoid delays.
