ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Road construction across Green Bay could make for heavy traffic on Thursday for the Packers first preseason game.
The Mason Street Bridge is closed all week, which forces motorists to take either the Walnut Street or Main Street Bridge.
Captain Kevin Warych tells Fox 11 News that even without the construction there would be traffic on Thursday.
“We know that with the Packers game on Thursday there’s going to be a lot of cars,” says Warych. “A lot of people here in the city of Green Bay that normally isn’t in the city of Green Bay.”
While construction is near Lambeau Field all along Mike McCarthy Way. Captain Jody Crocker from Ashwaubenon Public Safety told Fox 11 News he has a loose idea of when it will be finished.
“Hoping to have it done by the next preseason game, which is Pittsburgh,” said Crocker. “But for sure it will be over by the first regular season game.”
Motorists are advised to follow detour and alternate route signs to reach their destination.
