GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Interstate 41/43 interchange in Green Bay will officially reopen to drivers starting today.
The ramps have been closed since October for a massive overhaul.
Communications manager with the Wisconsin DOT, Mark Kantola, says northbound I-43 to southbound I-41 ramp, and southbound I-41 to southbound I-43 ramp are completed right on time.
“We wanted to get it done prior to Labor Day of this year. Obviously, the Packers schedule helped out a little bit because they’re not playing at home until later in September.”
Kantola says getting this part of the I-41 project completed will ease traffic congestion in other areas.
“It’s going to take a lot of pressure of the 172 bridge because that was the detour route for people that were going southbound on 41 and had to get up to Door County.”
The opening of this interchange marks the near end of the I-41 project.
Velp Ave. is still closed but will be open again in mid-October.
