GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – For those setting out to travel for the Labor Day holiday this week, some road construction on a busy highway may slow things down.
The Wisconsin Department Of Transportation has announced continued road work as they continue a larger project of road improvements that started in March.
DOT Spokesperson Mark Kantola explains what will be affected this week.
“The interchange ramp US 41/141 and County B will experience short-term closures,” he says.
The closures are necessary so crews can work to resurface stretches of the roadway.
This operation is part of the bigger road construction project that started in March. DOT Spokesperson Mark Kantola describes the timeline.
“We did most of the bridge work first and now we’re moving on to the milling and paving, which is basically resurfacing,” he explains.
The closures are not expected to last beyond this week and Kantola hopes to be finished before holiday travel hits this weekend
“Hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate and we can get the work done earlier than anticipated,” he says.
If everything goes according to plan, the DOT is expecting all work to be finished by Friday morning.
