Milwaukee County freeway closure; WB I-894 closing Sept. 20-23

MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will be conducting a freeway closure of westbound I-894 between the Mitchell Interchange and Hale Interchange from Friday, Sept. 20 through Monday, Sept. 23.

Officials say the full, directional closure includes westbound I-894. It will be closing Friday night (11 p.m.) until Monday morning (5:30 a.m.) for milling and paving work.

WisDOT plans held a news conference on Thursday morning, Sept. 19 to provide even more details about the I-894 project, closure and timing. A WisDOT spokesperson said do not worry if you need to get through the area.

“During these full closures, the best detours would be to use the rest of our freeway system, which is I-94 and I-43 going in and around Milwaukee. Travelers who need to get to the 894 area themselves, they can use Layton Avenue as a detour,” said Eric Hanson, WisDOT Construction Project Manager.

The following weekend, eastbound I-894 will be closed for the same reason.

Contigency weekends are Oct. 4-7 and Oct. 11-14 if weather affects the scheduled closures.
